Cheryl Cole has admitted that she would love to follow in the footsteps of Simon Cowell and launch her own record label.

According to Bang Showbiz, Cole said: “I’d love to have my own label in the future.

“I’d love to be on that side of it, I love hearing new artists, I love choosing songs and developing acts. So that’s something I’ve got planned.”

The X Factor judge also admitted that she wouldn’t be adverse to a bit of globe trotting to find her stars: “If I was asked to go to Zimbabwe I would. I’m sure there’s a lot of talent there.”
