Cheryl Cole has opened up about how Girls Aloud decided to bring the band’s time together to an end.

In conversation with InStyle magazine Cole revealed: “We've definitely split. I know Nadine [Coyle] always said she never thought we should say out loud the words, 'We've split', but at the same time we don't want to mislead the fans.”

The ‘Fight For This Love’ star explained that she feels the band simply reached their conclusion: “There was nothing really more we could do. I can't imagine going into the studio with all Girls Aloud now. Some of us are now 32. It's just different. It just is.”

Cole also made it clear that she is not hoping for a Girls Aloud comeback in the future: “I hope to God I'm not turning up to a Girls Aloud reunion and jumping around doing all the routines when I'm 45.”

Aside from music Cheryl also discussed the possibility of more television work. On the idea of hosting her own show, Cole said: “In the future it's not something I'd rule out. It would be something I'd have to practise and see how I felt.”

Cheryl Cole recently divulged that she did not feel mentally strong enough whilst working on her last series of the X Factor.
