Cheryl Tweedy’s business £1.35million in the red as she opens new company with Girls Aloud amid reunion rumours
CHERYL Tweedy’s entertainment company is £1.35million in the red, latest accounts reveal.
The singer enjoyed huge success with Girls Aloud in the Noughties then churned out five No1 solo singles.
But she has not released new music since Let You only reached No 57 in the UK singles charts in May 2019.
And Cheryl’s last big TV deal with the BBC ended in 2020, when The Greatest Dancer was axed after two series.
The accounts for CC Entertainment, revealed on Monday, reported the debt for last year is slightly down from 2021, when it was £1.46million in the red.
Cheryl enjoyed a career resurgence earlier this year.
She won praise from critics for her West End debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story, where she took on the leading role of Jenny from January to April.
The job, which is said to have made her £1,000-a-night, led to a bidding war with other productions keen to sign her.
Cheryl has also joined forces again with her Girls Aloud pals Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts.
They have launched company Let’s Go Eskimo, inspired by a lyric from their 2004 hit Love Machine, for any money brought in by Girls Aloud.
It is the surest sign yet the group, who split in 2013, could be set to reform.
The band reunited last October for a charity ball in honour of bandmate Sarah Harding, who had breast cancer and died aged 39 in 2021.
It was one of Sarah’s final wishes, as she asked them to help raise money for cancer charities.
In July last year the girls took part in Cancer Research UK’s Race For Life in Hyde Park.
Cheryl said at the event: “To be honest, I’ve never experienced or anticipated this grief.
“You know, I’ve lost grandparents and a friend when I was younger but nothing like this.
“The feeling of shock and disbelief and it still lingers now.”
She added: “You feel so helpless, you’ve never felt hopelessness like it, it’s horrendous.
“So the fact that Sarah had one request that we can fulfil is great for us because it just feels like we’re doing something.
“We felt like there was nothing we could do for so long.”
Cheryl was married to former England footballer Ashley Cole from 2006 to 2010, and has a son, Bear, with former 1D star Liam Payne.
During their heyday Girls Aloud scored 21 UK Top Ten singles, four of which hit the top spot, plus six Top Ten albums — including two No 1s.
