'''Cheryl Ann Tweedy''', known mononymously as '''[[OnlyOneName Cheryl]]''' (formerly '''Cheryl Cole''' and '''Cheryl Fernandez-Versini'''; born 30 June 1983) is an English singer, dancer, and media personality.

Cheryl is best known for being a founding member of the {{girl group}} Music/GirlsAloud, with whom she performed since their inception on ''Popstars'' in 2002 until 2013. With them, she boasts twenty consecutive top ten singles on the UK Singles Chart (including four number ones) and five studio albums.

While in the group, she began her role as a judge on ''Series/TheXFactor'' (originally from 2008 -- 2010 and then again 2014 -- 2015), where she mentored the likes of Music/AlexandraBurke, Music/CherLloyd, and Music/DianaVickers, while additionally helping create Music/OneDirection. During this time, she also launched a successful solo music career, setting a record for the most number one singles by a British female artist with five total.

In conjunction with her music career, she's noted for being a "style icon", having appeared in many fashion and gossip magazines due to her attractiveness.

Cheryl is just as known for her checkered personal life, having changed her professional name ''thrice''. She was married to footballer Ashley Cole from 2006 to 2010, but kept his name for years after their divorce. In 2014, she married French restauranteur Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini after only three months of dating --changing her professional credit to Cheryl Fernandez-Versini as a result-- but separated from two years later.

Since 2016, she's been with One Direction's Liam Payne (whom she first met while serving as a judge on ''X Factor'' when he was fourteen) and gave birth to their first child, Bear Grey, in 2017.

----
!!Tropes:
* AnimalMotifs: The artwork for ''Only Human'' features her with leopard spotted makeup and the single for the title track features a sliver of a leopard's face.
* AutoTune: Her second and third studio albums were released at the height of the auto-tune craze and feature vocal processing quite prominently. "Only Human", the title track from her fourth album, is entirely vocodered for an ironic robotic effect.
* BerserkButton: Gets ''very'' upset from hearing music played from a laptop, due to the sound compression.
** She also dislikes being referred to by her previous married names, and she definitely doesn't like jokes about cheating, as one not-very-bright ''X Factor'' auditionee discovered.
* BreakupBreakout: From Girls Aloud, something the group's other members are yet to really achieve.
* ClusterFBomb: When Simon texted her that she was fired from the American ''X Factor'' after ''two episodes'', her reply was nothing but a barrage of "fuck yous" and she sued him and won for breach of contract.
* EmbarrassingTattoo: She's admitted that some of the tattoos she had as a teenager are rather embarrassing. She's since had the ones on her back covered up with a gigantic bouquet of roses.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Music/KatyPerry started fawning over her when the former was a guest judge on ''Series/TheXFactor'' and when the two appeared on Graham Norton's talk show together. She herself has admitted to fawning over Music/{{Beyonce}} and Music/{{Rihanna}}.
* TheFashionista: A famous real-life example, becoming a popular model for high fashion editorials and fashion campaigns. Has also been criticised for having questionable taste in fashion sometimes.
* FourthDateMarriage: Married her second husband, Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, after only dating him for three months. Of course, they eventually divorced after 19 months.
* TheGadfly: When she returned to the ''The X Factor'', she basically becomes a thorn in Simon's side. She deliberately delayed an audition just so Simon couldn't excuse himself to go to the bathroom, and in the middle of re-negotiating her return to the show, she hired a plane on Simon's birthday to fly a banner over his home stating how old he was.
* GratuitousFrench: The entire hook in "Promise This".
* HiddenDepths: Is (allegedly) a member of [[http://www.ukastle.co.uk this site]], according to an UrbanLegend from a British football forum.
* IHaveManyNames: Her full name is Cheryl Ann Tweedy. You may know her as just [[OnlyOneName Cheryl]], Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, or Cheryl Cole.
* TheMaidenNameDebate: She kept "Cole" after the divorce largely because her solo career as already established under the name. After she remarried, she billed ''A Million Lights'' and ''Only Human'' under her first name solely for aesthetic reasons and uses her new surname for everything else. After her second divorce, she's famous enough in the UK to be just referred to as Cheryl.
* MotorMouth: Self-described as "gobby" or "[[SelfDeprecation The one who just didn't ever shut up!]] I just talked all day!"
* MsFanservice: Although she's known to have been this for the decade she's been on the scene, her {{stripperiffic}} outfit choices in the video for her song "Ghetto Baby" got her into ''huge'' trouble [[MyGirlIsNotASlut with her father]].
* NonAppearingTitle: ''Messy Little Raindrops'' is not a song on the album, but rather, [[AlbumTitleDrop part of a lyric from the track "Raindrops"]].
* OopNorth: She's a Geordie, although her infamously thick accent seems to have tampered down a bit with media training. Some of the auditionees on ''The X Factor'' will play up to this in hopes of getting a "Yes" from her and she's also confessed to putting episodes of ''Geordie Shore'' on at night to help fall asleep or when she gets homesick. Fellow Geordies Ant and Dec have joked that the three of them can understand each other perfectly, it's ''everyone else'' who can't. Ross Noble, another Geordie comedian, jokes that the reason her L'Oreal commercials are so popular is because she sounds just like any other girl in Newcastle.
* StealthInsult: She's a master of this on ''The X Factor'', especially when she's dealing with Simon Cowell.
* AWildRapperAppears: Her songs have featured the likes of Wretch 32, will.i.am, Travie [=McCoy=], Tinie Tempah, and Dizzee Rascal.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Well, [[ShesGotLegs she does have nice legs]], so it makes sense.
