Saturdays' King sympathises with Cole

The Saturdays singer Mollie King has expressed her sympathy for Cheryl Cole.

King recently had to miss out on several performances due to cellulitis and claimed that she can understand how Cole feels as she recovers from malaria.

"Cheryl must be feeling really down," she told the Daily Record.

"It's horrible for anyone to miss out on work but especially with her as she's going through a real high point of her career right now.

"At least with me, I had the rest of The Saturdays to carry on as we have a new single and new album to promote. With her, everything has to stop. I just want to tell her to get better soon and hang in there."

The 'Missing You' singers supported Girls Aloud on their Tangled Up tour.

King added: "All of The Saturdays wish her better and hope she can recover as soon as possible."
