Cheryl collapses during photoshoot
Quote:
CHERYL TWEEDY has pulled out of The X Factor on medical advice after she collapsed at a photoshoot.
The pale singer, 27, fainted in a studio on Saturday.
A doctor was rushed to the North London session and diagnosed severe exhaustion before ordering complete rest.
Cheryl's manager told X Factor chiefs last night that she would be absent from filming until further notice.
The Geordie star is said to have been working relentlessly since splitting with her footballer husband ASHLEY COLE.
Shattered Cheryl collapsed unconscious in a pale, sweating heap just minutes into the weekend photoshoot, shocked onlookers revealed.
Staff at the studio were stunned when the beauty arrived looking "washed-out" and "gaunt".
Yet she refused to postpone the session - insisting she would be fine despite a high temperature and nausea.
Make-up artists spent an hour preparing the GIRLS ALOUD singer, but after just moments under the lights she fainted.
The star was diagnosed with severe exhaustion by a doctor who sped to the scene.
He ordered a complete rest from work and tests later showed she had a vicious gastroenteritis bug.
But last night, as her manager told X Factor chiefs she would be absent from filming until further notice, worried pals voiced serious concerns over her health - claiming she had IGNORED calls to cut back on her punishing work schedule.
One friend in Cheryl's inner circle told The Sun: "She should never have gone to the studio. She insisted she was fine, even though she clearly wasn't.
"Her skin was pale and her lips had no colour. She's rundown and tired. That's why she ended up with the stomach virus.
"She told the photographer she'd be all right if she got her make-up on. But once she was under the lights it was clear she wasn't well.
"She was really sweating and the make-up staff had a job on their hands.
"Eventually she just keeled over. It was horrible. She was only out for a few seconds but it was enough to give everyone, including Cheryl, a massive scare.
"She was carried to a dark room and lay down on a sofa until the doctor arrived. She was sent home to rest and the shoot was postponed indefinitely.
"It was a real shock to see her looking so ill. She looks terrible."
X Factor judge Cheryl had defied her growing exhaustion to shoot pictures for her new album at the North London studio on Saturday afternoon.
She is said to have dismissed warnings over her 18-hour days after hurling herself into work to blot out the pain of her upcoming divorce from love-rat England soccer star Ashley.
The friend added: "Since splitting with Ashley, Cheryl has been throwing herself into work.
"She has been completely dedicated to X Factor, her album, recording sessions and touring - to an extent that it has started to affect her health.
"Cheryl has been putting on a brave face, joking about hangovers. The truth is, she's simply working far too hard.
"There's only so long someone can do 18 hours every day without burning out. She has worked relentlessly for the past 18 months. Something had to give."
