Cheryl Cole - Cheryl will be too sick to do X Factor

SERIOUSLY ill CHERYL TWEEDY may have to pull out of X Factor this year as she battles to survive the killer disease malaria, it emerged last night.

Frail Cheryl, 27, could also be forced to scrap a gig at the V Festival. And her management are ready to put the October launch of her new album on ice.

The GIRLS ALOUD singer spent a THIRD night in intensive care yesterday at a Surrey clinic and faces a six-month struggle back to fitness.

Her condition is understood to be worse than feared and she is plagued with headaches and fever.

A source revealed: "It is a lot more serious than first thought. Everyone thought she would pull through after 24 hours but there have been no signs of improvement.

"She is very ill and will not be out of hospital for a while. Everyone is holding their breath.

"Because of her hectic schedule, the malaria has really taken a hold.

"She has not got the physical strength to beat it. She is going to need all of her Geordie grit to win this battle."

Cheryl is now in a specialist unit that deals with tropical diseases.

A source said she was also "hit hard" by powerful medication used to combat the mosquito-borne illness - which can be fatal.

He added "It isn't pretty. There are fears that because she is so delicate, permanent damage has been done to her liver.

"She is so tiny - the medication is hitting her hard."

Cheryl was rushed to hospital on Sunday night.

Dancer pal DEREK HOUGH, 25, has been at her bedside along with her mum Joan Callaghan.

The source said: "Joan is beside herself with worry."

The Sun told yesterday how Cheryl caught the disease on a trip to Tanzania, Africa, with Derek three weeks ago. She took malaria tablets but they failed to protect her.

She collapsed during a photoshoot on Saturday.

Comic Relief advisers were worried by her tiny physique when she joined a charity walk up Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro last year.

Get well soon, luv x

Oh dear. Has anyone contacted Ashley? I know they've split and everything but..

I hope she gets well soon.

Gosh Chelsie, I hope so. Maybe someone on here could give him a call and let him know? Seems only right.

malaria stays in your body doesnt it? i know there are different types of dengue where i used to live ( brazil) one was fatal the other type not..luckily never caught it, had yellow fever vacination but that is less common...damn mosquitos!

Hope she gets well soon

cashley knows before you lot obviously.

Don't care about her at all. What makes her any more special than the thousands of children that die of malaria every year.The only reason is that the ugly bird is famous.We live in the real world where the young and the vulnerable have to wait in these countrys and die where as she gets special treatment.

Thank God. I think everyone needs a break from her too.

I am sure Ashley is well aware what is happening with Cheryl through the same means of communication that we are made aware of her position...the newspaper. At least I must give The Sun a round of applause for reporting on the facts unlike the Daily Star whose reports is beyond the wildest imagination in accusing him of being the cause of her illness...pathetic. Well done Sun.

i dont wish anyone any harm, but its her own fault really.
its the way she's built, and her body would barely be able to fight off the common cold. but its her life , if she wants simon cowell to continue ruining it for her, just for money, then let her be i say.

"The Album is on Ice"
Thank god for that. Don't need her assaulting my eardrums every time I turn on the radio.

Oh no whatever will she do for money? maybe she could manage a couple of photo shoots to get her through.

cmon cheryl this country needs your smile back! Your smile makes up for a smilenless nation buhahahahaha!

Oh come on ... Nobody loves watching X factor...and as for Cheryl..get some rest and give us some rest!!!

Leave her alone,,, poor girls havin hard enough time of it lately anyway,, without this happening.. Lets just hope she gets well again soon,, If ya got nothin decent to say keep yer traps shut... Get well soon Cheryl..

it,s nice too see how many horrible people put messages on here, you may not like her but she is ill after all and your still bitching have some consideration for the poor woman. hope cheryl gets better soon x

Out of work from 6 months. Looks like Britain prayers are finally answered. No more miming in the name of new album and so called gigs. X-factor will have a new judge who can actually sing and judge the right talent instead of using it as a platform to promote their own image like Cheryl.

could be out of work(surely if you call this work) for up to 6 months could she be out of the papers for the same period as well? or may be just two days please

Some of you on here are real nasty peices of work, Have some compasion, the lady is ill, is there any real need for you to be so nasty. She is hard working and pretty and is in one of our countries biggest girl bands, she sings, presents and has talent despite what some of you unfeeling people say, why do you persist on kicking people when they are alreasy down, it is not her fault that perv of an ex is like he is, if you have nothing nice to say - dont say anything

Get well soon Cheryl!!! The break will do you some good as well!!!!!

How could you be so cruel when a person is sick. Have you no decency at all?

Take it easy Cheryl, you work could wait. Take your time and get better. Be Well.

how some of you can go on and bad mouth her when she is lying in hospital is beyond me. you really are very sick, bitter and twisted people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mum suffered from malaria - and she didn't need 6 months off work for it - not that what the whining weedy Tweedy does for a living could really be described as "work" to the majority of the population.

This woman is an utterly talentless bore - another so-called "star" who sits in the limelight for the sake of sitting in the limelight.

I predict she will still be popping up all over the place in carefully staged "impromptu" photo opportunities during her "sick leave".

God give us a break as well pleeeeeeeeeeease!!!!
