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?”
