Cheryl Cole collapses

Cheryl dramatically collapsed at a photo-shoot over the weekend after suffering from a severe stomach bug on top of her tiredness.

She has now been ordered by doctors to have complete rest and do absolutely nothing for a while. So, no gigs, no X Factor, no parties, no sailing trips, no adverts, no country hopping, no Dancing With The Stars… nothing.

Cheryl rocked up to studio in north London on Saturday morning and went ahead with the shoot despite looking “washed out” on arrival. Make up artists worked well hard to cover up her pale skin, but under the lights she started sweating it all off.

A source said: “It’s still far too early to say whether Cheryl will be able to make the next audition.

“Everyone is desperately hoping she makes a swift recovery. She will be given as much time as she needs.”
