Cheryl Cole 'Feels Lonely Going Solo'

Cheryl Cole's solo career is getting off to a great start, but the singer has admitted she feels lonely going it alone without the rest of Girls Aloud by her side.

The X Factor star is likely to top the charts this weekend with 'Fight For This Love', which is also on course to become the fastest selling single of 2009, but such an achievement comes with a price.

"It is weird. It's a little bit lonely." Cheryl confesses. "I find myself either glad that there aren't four other opinions at times or hating the fact that there's not."

"I can't give the 'Cheryl' look where you look at one of them across the room and they answer the question or they sense that you're fed up so they do it anyway."

"You have to be completely on the ball in every aspect. You haven't got any shielding. It's been up and down really."

'Fight For This Love' is out now, and Cheryl's debut album '3 Words' is released on Monday.
