T’Pau star Carol Decker has hit out at X factor judge Cheryl Cole, for wearing too much makeup.

The ‘China In Your Hand’ singer told thelondonpaper: “It’s all a bit too saccharine now. They’re squeaky clean. I think they’re overstyled.

“Cheryl Cole is an incredibly pretty girl but she looks too made up. Give me Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse any day.”

She added: “I like people with a bit of an edge and a bit of opinion. Liam Gallagher lives down the road from me. I see him go jogging regularly.”
