Pop star CHERYL COLE cringes when she recalls her run-in with BEYONCE backstage of last year's (08) THE X FACTOR finale - because she bombarded the superstar with compliments.
Cheryl Cole arrived at the 'X Factor' bootcamp. London, England - 01.08.09
The Girls Aloud, who is a judge on the British singing competition, navigated 2008 champion Alexandra Burke to win the final, and was overcome with emotion when she watched her protege get to duet with the Crazy in Love hitmaker.
And, despite telling herself she would keep her cool in front of Beyonce, Cole admits she got carried away in the moment when she came face to face with the diva.
She tells Hello! magazine, "I am obsessed with Beyonce, I promise you. When I met her I turned into an absolute gabbling (chatting) fool; I was so embarrassed. She came to film the finale of X Factor, so I knew she was coming to sing with Alexandra Burke. I was watching rehearsals crying my eyes out because everything was coming to an end, Alexandra was incredible and then Beyonce turned up. She didn't have a scrap of make-up on, her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, she wore a plain white t-shirt and skinny jeans with heels, and she was unguarded and encouraging.
"So by the time it got got me to meet her I had had a glass of wine, I was a mess from crying, and then I just gabbled (chatted) this whole load of rubbish: 'You are what every woman should aspire to be, you are amazing, I love you!'
"Her mum was there and she must have thought I was a weirdo. I wanted to be cool and all like, 'Hi B, how's it going?' But oh no!"
