Cheryl thanked her dentist during her acceptance speech at the Glamour Awards
Singer Cheryl Cole scooped the top prize at the Glamour Awards yesterday after being named Woman of the Year.
The X-factor judge, who has rarely been out if the papers since announcing her separation from Chelsea footballer husband Ashley Cole, attended the event with her mother.
The 26-year-old Geordie was presented with her award by US heartthrob Jason Lewis, best known for his role as Samantha’s boyfriend Jerry “Smith” Jerrod in Sex and the City. Collecting the award the petite pop star said she was overwhelmed at the accolade, and thanked her dentist during her acceptance speech, presumably for her perfect smile.
However the Girls Aloud singer has come in for some criticism in the press today with some branding her a “lollipop head” because of her painfully thin frame and big hairdo. The former wag has become noticeably skinner since the breakdown of her marriage.
Apart from Cheryl Cole’s triumph making the news after the event, an onstage spat between James Corden and Sir Patrick Stewart during the ceremony has also hit the headlines. The pair clashed in front of the invited audience after the veteran actor criticised the Gavin and Stacey star’s presenting style.
Other winners on the night included Cheryl’s arch rival Lily Allen who won Best Solo Artist, Welsh singer Duffy presented Yoko Ono with the gong for Outstanding Contribution, Christine Bleakley was named Presenter of the Year, and Nicole Ritchie Entrepreneur of the Year.
