Cheryl ColeCheryl Cole has been put under the microscope due to her weight.

Her tiny frame has caused much concern, even though we think she's popped on a few pounds since her days of super-skinniness in the summer.

But Chezza's got her own take on matters...

It seems that the X Factor judge doesn't give a tinkers about speculation over her bod, so long as Girls Aloud are going strong.

Cheryl told OK!: "I don't really care to be honest, as long as fans still Cheryl Colelike us - they're the ones buying the records.

"It doesn't matter what you do anyway - if you're fat they say you're fat, if you're looking thin, they say you're too thin and if you don't have any make-up on they say you're ugly."

She added: "I want to eat healthily, I don't want to be clogging my arteries up with crap or eating McDonald's every day, but that's got nothing to do with what the media has to say.

"So, yeah, I like to eat healthy and exercise, but I'd be doing that anyway."

But Cheryl's definitely changed in many ways since the early days, something which she can't deny: "I was only 19 when I got in the band - those are crucial years, because you're turning from a teenager into a woman.

"I've grown up a hell of a lot since then. Everything has changed - who I am and the way I look at things too."
