Cheryl Cole is reportedly nervous about her music career flopping, while her team are planning on how she can conquer America.

A source told Now magazine: “If her solo career goes well, she can think about breaking the US, which she’s desperate to do.

“If it doesn’t, she could go the way of Victoria Beckham, who was finished as a solo artist after only one song. That’s Cheryl’s biggest fear.”

They added: “No-one in Cheryl’s camp is looking at the work she has ahead of her in a pessimistic light – far from it.

“They’re already thinking way beyond the single and album and plotting how to crack America.”
