Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole has revealed that she grew up wishing, that one day, she could be like Britney Spears – but not anymore.
Cheryl, who is married to Chelsea soccer star Ashley Cole has revealed that she is desperate for Britney to sort her life out, and thinks the troubled ‘Gimme More’ singer should get some help.
Cheryl, 24 told British newspaper The Sun: “It’s devastating to see Britney like this. It’s so sad, she needs help. She’s mentally ill.”
Cheryl added: “She’s someone I idolized growing up and I wanted to be like her.
“She was amazing and had the whole package.
“It’s such a shame. I just want to hug her.
“I’ve said that she can come to my house and I’ll look after her — but she’s rejecting people.
“Denial, that’s what that is. It looks like she’s got post-natal depression that’s got out of control.”
Last week, Britney’s friends pleaded with her fans to not to buy her new album ‘Blackout’ until she gets her life on track, But Cheryl reckons she it won’t help her – she said:
“There’s no point telling fans not to buy her music because they tried that with Amy Winehouse and it didn’t work — the sales went up.”
She also slammed pop stars who glamorize the use of class A drugs.
She added: “It’s really sad that the way to be looking cool is to be seen to be taking drugs. We’re pretty screwed, aren’t we?”
I suggest she give it up. Recently Britney’s profile was found on a celebrity and millionaire dating site named millmatch.com, along with blogs.I will check it out for you guys and come out with the truth soon.
Cheryl take care of yourself.

@AfricanWoman –
Maybe Cheryl found out Britney was a fan of her music – that, surely gives someone the right to diagnose a mental illness?
Also, at your Amy Winehouse comment – Amy is very, very talented, yes – but, personally I don’t think she should (or can afford to) be wasting that talent.

Just a little question. Since when has Cheryl Cole become able to define and diagnose someone as mentally ill and suffering from post natal depression that’s ‘out of control’?? Her degree in psychiatry and nursing came from …which uni? She’s a great lass and I’ve always had a lot of time for her but I think it’s very dangerous for non professionals to try and diagnose Britney’s issues right now. BTW I am a much bigger fan of Girls Aloud than I am of Britney! So this isn’t a dig at Cheryl, she’s great but it’s just that it’s not the first time I’ve heard/seen her question other people’s sanity (she did the same on celebrity apprentice when she made catty remarks about Trinny’s mental health) She needs to understand she is alienating her fan base with these comments about people’s mental health when she is not a mental health expert. If you aren’t a mental health expert Cheryl then be quiet on this matter. And while you’re at it stop passing comments on Amy Winehouse. She is beyond talented. She is a singer, not a role model. It’s up to her how she lives her life.Her talent is so big her voice so extraoridnary that she can afford to waste some of it. Unlike ordinary, quite nice, middle of the road pop singers like Cheryl and Britney. AfricanWoman
