Cheryl admits she wasn't prepared for 'intense' X Factor responsibility

Cheryl has revealed that she wasn't quite ready for the experience of the X Factor cauldron.

The singer was a judge on the show for three years before leaving in 2010 and rejoining for the 2014 series.

Speaking to the Daily Star this week, the Geordie admitted that she wasn't fully prepared to re-enter the environment of the X Factor live shows.

She said: "When I did the audition process I saw in the chair and it was like nothing had changed. It was like four years had evaporated.

"When I came to the live shows I thought I was mentally prepared, but when the audience gets going and you're in the adrenaline-fuelled bubble, your heart is pounding!" she explained. "I'm like, 'this is all my responsibility now!'

"I wasn't ready for that feeling, it's very intense because you have people's dreams on the line and their feelings."
