CHERYL TWEEDY is set to make a huge comeback with her own documentary.
The Girls Aloud singer has kept a low profile in recent years, but remains one of the UK’s most successful female solo artists and telly stars.
I’m told she is in early talks to create a film about her life and look back at her past successes.
The plan is to document her rise to fame auditioning on Popstars: The Rivals and being a judge on The X Factor as well as touching on her love life.
She is currently single after high-profile marriages to footballer Ashley Cole and restaurateur Jean-Bernard Fernanzed-Versini plus relationships with US dancer Derek Hough and the late One Direction singer Liam Payne, who is the father of her son Bear.
A source said: “Cheryl is incredibly picky about what she chooses to do these days and spends a lot of time on motherhood, but she feels like she has a story to tell.
“The doc could create a bidding war between all of the big streamers — Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple.
“She would also have creative control over the project.”
Cheryl’s TV project comes after successful documentary series from David and Victoria Beckham, Robbie Williams and Katie Price.
Her PR man did not respond when I reached out for comment.
Last year it was reported that Cheryl was in talks to make a telly comeback by appearing on The Voice, and she was spotted having a low-key dinner in Italy with pal Will.i.am, who is a mentor on the ITV talent show.
Over the years Cheryl has featured in several high-profile documentaries including Access All Areas, which followed her first solo arena tour.
Speaking about the 2012 doc, she said: “I literally had a friend of mine filming so that I would not feel like I had a camera crew in my way and at times forgot myself.
“I have since regretted this decision. The number of times I cringed watching it.”
I’m sure fans would love to go behind the scenes with Cheryl.
SLIPKNOT ‘CUT TIES’ WITH SID
SID WILSON has been “kicked out” of heavy metal band Slipknot after 28 years, according to sources.
The American DJ and keyboardist, who joined the group in 1998, is understood to have been sent packing on Friday.
It comes just five months after Sid – known in the band as #0 – split from his fiancée Kelly Osbourne.
I can reveal Slipknot have also parted ways with the PR company that has represented them since 1995.
A source close to the band told TMZ, “Sid was notified late Friday afternoon that he has been permanently kicked out”.
The musician proposed to Kelly backstage at her dad Ozzy Osbourne‘s final Black Sabbath gig at Villa Park in Birmingham last July.
Just weeks later, Kelly suffered heartbreak when Ozzy passed away.
She and Sid had started dating in 2022 and had son Sidney at the end of the same year.
However, she has since sparked fresh romance rumours with her supposed new hairdresser partner Kiinicki – a Los Angeles-based barber and creative behind the brand Hella Good Hair.
Kelly shared snaps of herself with Kiinicki, who uses they/them pronouns, in April.
And the pair were spotted at an after-party following Lily Allen‘s gig at the London Palladium in March.
Sounds like Kelly has got Sid out of her hair.
JESSICA’S NETFLIX DOCU
AMERICAN singer Jessica Simpson is set to have her life made into a Netflix documentary.
It will be developed by director Joe Pearlman, who created Robbie Williams’ docu-series and Lewis Capaldi How I’m Feeling Now film.
A source said: “It will be a four-parter similar to Robbie Williams’ one. Like him, Jessica has faced her demons and been through trauma having started in the music industry aged 17.
“Filming is expected to start this year and will show Jessica talking about everything she’s been through.”
SAM THOMPSON and Pete Wicks seem to be building an empire – having joined forces on a new financial venture.
I can reveal that former Made In Chelsea star Sam and ex-Towie hunk Pete, who own Staying Relevant Productions and co-host a podcast, have set up PWST Investments Ltd.
Details lodged with Companies House show the nature of the business is “security dealing on own account”, which relates to investing in stocks and shares, futures, securities and commodities.
A source said: “Sam and Pete have become comedy gold on their podcast, but they are serious when it comes to business.”
Move over power couples, bromances are big business.
