Cheryl Cole has admitted that she hates seeing pictures of her past fashion disasters.

“When I was 15 I wanted to go peroxide blonde and I spent eight hours in the hairdresser’s chair having really strong peroxide used on my hair,” she told Hello. “Seriously, eight hours, and I ended up looking like something out of The Wizard of Oz, it was awful.”

She continued: “You have to work out what suits you. The only difference is that everyone gets to see my fashion and beauty mistakes and they are caught on camera forever. I cringe because I’m constantly reminded of them.”

The singer added: “I hope I’m low maintenance. I feel best without make-up in comfy clothes at the weekend, probably because I have to dress up so much for my work.”
