Cheryl Cole is reportedly planning to take an extended break from showbiz.

The singer wants to "disappear from the limelight" for six months and won't be recording new material or rejoining The X Factor in the UK or US, according to the Sunday Mirror.



The news comes following the announcement that Girls Aloud are splitting up after releasing their Greatest Hits and completing the 'Ten: The Hits Tour'.

"Cheryl's a trouper when it comes to her work commitments and loves nothing more than making music and getting up on stage," a source said.

"But she feels now that she needs a break and an opportunity to recharge her batteries as she's barely had any time off.

"From the moment she released 'Call My Name' in May 2012 she was thrown back into promotional duties and toured second album A Million Lights around the UK and Ireland in October.

"Then after a three-year hiatus Cheryl rejoined Girls Aloud in November. Now the tour has finished Cheryl's planning to take time out and disappear from the limelight.

HALLEUJAH if this story is true.
