Coleen Nolan: 'This isn't the end of Cheryl Cole'

Coleen Nolan has called on Cheryl Cole to "give herself a kick up the backside" and bounce back from a "terrible week".

Discussing Cole's exit from The X Factor USA, the Loose Women panellist advised her to "wallow", but not let a "real depression" sink in.

Nolan wrote in The Mirror: "At some stage (soon!) she's going to have to give herself a kick up the backside and get out there. She's got to start thinking about the good things she's got. Let's face it, this is not the end of Cheryl Cole. Her career will go on from here and she'll be fantastic. She will fall in love again.

"But after disappointments in her private life over the past year, the X Factor debacle can't have helped. Cheryl is a beautiful, talented woman. Her family and friends love her, regardless of what she's doing professionally, and sometimes that's all you need."

Nolan continued: "Cheryl must try not to become too cynical. She's still got to be able to trust. The showbiz industry is 90% rejection, so Cheryl will have to be tough about it.

"OK, this opportunity hasn't worked out, but it's not the end of the world. I'm a believer in fate and this could be the making of her. You never know what's around the corner - if she'd been in the States all year she could well have missed something better here."

Nolan concluded: "This could be the best decision she never made."
