X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has denied reports that she will mime her way through her performance on the show this Sunday.

Cheryl admitted that she will pre-record the performance, because of time constraints, but insists that she will be singing live.

“I really don’t see the problem. I will be singing live,” The Evening Standard quotes her as saying.

“I just won’t have time to get changed and get prepared for the performance, and be a judge on the show. It would be too hectic.”

Cole also admitted that she feels “absolutely terrified” about the solo performance of her new single, Fight For This Love.

“I love performing but I’ve sat for weeks judging people and now I’m putting myself out there to be judged,” she said.
