According to this morning's Sun newspaper, Cheryl Tweedy, once known as Cheryl Cole, is in talks with a top UK acting agency in a desperate bid to keep herself in the spotlight.
"Cheryl knows she cannot depend on music to give her the profile she craves," a source told The Sun.
“Her chart career is clearly stalling, so bagging high-impact TV roles has become the priority.
“She really needs some top gigs to return her to the standing she enjoyed during her first stint on The X Factor.”
The Sun show biz writer Dan Wotton wrote in his column: "I can reveal the Geordie is close to signing a deal with the same acting agency that represents Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli, in a bid to land herself some sought-after telly gigs."
