Mini bio
How it started.
Born Cheryl Ann Tweedy in Newcastle upon Tyne, Cheryl began dancing at four and attended a short Royal Ballet School summer course at nine. Her national breakthrough came in 2002, when viewers of Popstars: The Rivals voted her into Girls Aloud alongside Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh.
The group years.
Girls Aloud made their name with Sound of the Underground and a run of adventurous pop singles. Their first 20 singles all reached the UK Top 10. The Promise later won the 2009 BRIT Award for British Single.
Finding her own voice.
Cheryl launched her solo career with Fight for This Love in 2009. Promise This, Call My Name, Crazy Stupid Love and I Don’t Care also topped the UK singles chart. In 2014 she became the first British female solo artist to reach five UK Number 1 singles.
Beyond the records.
As a judge on The X Factor, Cheryl mentored winners Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry. She later appeared on The Greatest Dancer and played Jenny in the West End production of 2:22 A Ghost Story in 2023. In 2024, she reunited with Girls Aloud for a tour remembering Sarah Harding; ITV announced her as a future coach on The Voice UK in September 2026.
