Cheryl Fernandez-Versini Is 'Desperate' To Change Her Name

  • 18 April 2016

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has had a hard time on the surname front for a number of years with the singer on her third reinvention - and now she’s keen to get rid of that one. The former X Factor judge is said to be "desperate" to get divorced so she can change her name "as soon as possible".

Cheryl is keen to move on from her old name in her new relationship

However, instead of reverting back to her most successful moniker - Cole - or her maiden name - Tweedy - sources claim that the 32-year-old will simply go back to being known as Cheryl.

The DailyMailOnline reported that an insider confirmed: "Cheryl has been using her first name professionally for some time."
