Cheryl Cole Calls Her Fans Cheryl's Soldiers

• 5th Oct 2010

The 'Promise This' hitmaker has thanked her fans for standing out in the rain to see her to sign copies of her new book 'Through My Eyes' and has now given them a nickname to call themselves by.

She said: “Thank you so much to everyone who came out in the torrential rain to see me when I was at Waterstones last Friday. I clearly have the best and coolest fans in the world.

It was amazing to see so many faces – some familiar – and some new. I loved seeing you all and after hearing some of your stories I'm going start calling you guys Cheryl's Soldiers!”

The 27-year-old singer – who is close to finalising her divorce with soccer player Ashley Cole – also revealed she will look out for her fans providing they do for her too.

Writing on her official Facebook page, Cheryl added: “You are the best. I really hope to see you all again sometime soon. I have your backs and I know you have mine.”

Last week Cheryl's long-term musical collaborator will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas revealed his belief she would become a big hit in the US if she were to join the country's version of UK TV talent show 'The X Factor' as a celebrity judge.

He said: “I've heard she's going to be a judge on 'The X Factor' in the States. Wow, she'll do great. The public will love her.

“I hung out with Cheryl recently… She's cool. She's a great artist and we're good friends.”
