Cheryl Cole "lonely" without Girls Aloud

Cheryl Cole has revealed that she feels "lonely" without her Girls Aloud bandmates.

The singer, who is on course to have the fastest-selling single of the year with 'Fight For This Love', claimed that she misses the support of the other four girls.

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

"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."

The 26-year-old, who releases debut solo album Three Words on Monday, admitted that there is now more pressure on her when doing promotion.

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

Girls Aloud are expected to return to the studio next year after signing a new three-album deal with Fascination records last February.
