Cheryl Cole is gearing herself up for a battle with her fellow Girls Aloud stars as she bids to be the band's top member, a report has claimed.

According to Now, the 26-year-old has spent much of her time "recharging her batteries" at home in Surrey in recent weeks ahead of her return to screens on The X Factor and the launch of her solo career.

A source commented: "She'll need all the energy she can muster for her solo battle with the rest of the Girls Aloud. Nadine Coyle's causing massive interest in the States, with three record labels vying to sign her up. She's also based in LA.

"Sarah Harding's been involved in TV and film projects too. Cheryl's a bit behind when she's used to being on top."

Coyle's solo career was recently tipped to be more successful than Cole's, with insiders claiming that there is more "buzz" surrounding her forthcoming album.

Earlier this month, Cole confirmed that she is keen to crack America with Girls Aloud in the future.
