Cheryl has opened up on plans to create a record label.

The X Factor judge told the Mirror that she is looking into starting an imprint to give young talent a platform.

However, the singer said that she would "nurture" her stars and give them a guide to the music business.

Cheryl said: "Look around at the child stars – the record’s not exactly promising. It’s too much pressure. They would have to be over 18. But I would develop them while they’re in school.

“I would nurture the artist before they put anything out there. I would ensure my girls do a preparation course. I love the aspect of X Factor where I’m nurturing talent. Watching the sparkle in someone else’s eye and remembering you having that dream, it’s such a buzz."

The Brit added that people shouldn't expect a label to start overnight, saying:

"These things take a long time. I have to get the right team."
