Cheryl Cole, precisely 5ft 3in (160 cm) tall, is an English singer and television personality whose petite stature has been central to her glamorous, doll-like image in pop music and media.
She rose to fame as a member of Girls Aloud, where her compact height accentuated her fierce stage presence and fashion-forward style. Cheryl became the first British female solo artist with five UK number-one singles, holding the record until 2018. As a judge on The X Factor, her diminutive frame contrasted sharply with her commanding persona.
Cheryl has openly discussed her 5ft 3in height in interviews, noting in Vogue, "I'm only 5 feet, 3 inches," and reflecting on body image in OK Magazine during her Girls Aloud days.
