Britian’s biggest girl band, Girls Aloud, will be performing their new single on this years series of The X Factor.

At yesterday’s press launch, X Factor judge Cheryl Cole laughed: “Imagine how awkward it’s going to be for me!”

Simon teased her saying: “We’re going to move the desk forward so we’re very, very close to Cheryl when she performs that night.”

It will certainly be a little strange to see a judge from the show perform on stage, but it will lend Cheryl some credibilty that some of the other judges may lack (*cough* Louis *cough*). She certainly cannot be accused of not knowing what she’s talking about….it’s her career for goodness sake!
