Cheryl Cole faints during photo shoot, ordered to rest
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 5 July 2010
Cheryl Cole has pulled out of ‘The X-Factor’ until further notice after collapsing from exhaustion during a photo shoot this weekend.
Reports suggest Cole was feeling ill before attending the photo session on Saturday, but nevertheless stuck to the appointment. According to The Sun, she fainted midway through, and was subsequently diagnosed as suffering from gastroenteritis and told to rest at home for at least a week, and to then only slowly return to work. Sources say that Cole has been working eighteen hour days since splitting from husband Ashley, and it seems her illness is probably the result of over work.
Work is already underway on the next series of ‘The X-Factor’, and according to the tabloid it is likely Cole will have to sit out at least one set of auditions, may be more, as a result of her enforced sick leave. Fellow judge Simon Cowell mocked the Girl Aloud for being tired at an X audition last week, telling the audience Cole was suffering from “a disease going around called ‘hangover'”, adding that she might be “sulky” as a result.
