'I hate my legs and cover them up as much as possible,' moans skinny Cheryl Cole
Last updated at 16:22pm on 08.07.08
Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole admits she hates her legs and attempts to cover them up as much as possible.
The stunning pop star, 25, has huge insecurities about her body, despite regularly topping polls as the sexiest female.
Despite her recent weight loss being the subject of many weekly gossip magazines, Cheryl admits she enjoys reading them because looking at other celebrities' flaws make her feel better about herself.
Cover up: The Girls Aloud singer hide her legs in black tights
At just 5ft 3, Cheryl would like longer legs so prefers to cover them up when she's not at work.
At award shows and during Girls Aloud concerts, Cheryl is forced to expose her legs in a procession of tiny outfits.
She said: 'I'm terrible. I don't like my legs. I haven't got much of them for a start.
'It's just the thing that I don't like so if I was dressing myself I'd probably cover them up.'
Despite not liking her legs, Cheryl acknowledges she, like most women, suffer from cellulite and isn't bothered when the blemishes are highlighted in the tabloids.
She continued: 'If somebody sees a bit of cellulite on my legs that's been circled in a magazine and it makes them feel comfortable then I'm happy that I've made that one person at home go "Cheryl's got cellulite, it's fine".

'I do it myself. I flick through magazines and see Kate Moss has got cellulite and it makes me feel happier about myself. You can't help it.'
Cheryl admitted her insecurity about her body really kicked in when she joined Girls Aloud in December 2002.
The press criticised the band's weight and all five members dramatically slimmed down after going on a group diet.
Speaking on BCC Three show Alesha: Look But Don't Touch, she recalled: 'When I first started in the band reading all the criticism was really hard.
'At home to be a size eight or ten was normal but I was reading things saying look how much weight she's put on.
'It was hard to take in the beginning but there never has and never will be a perfect person.'

Ohmygod. People obviously searched cheryl cole on google, so whats the point in that, if you dont like her? if your just going to criticise her?. Exactly, it just shows how jelous you's really are tbh!. Really you's are the ones making a fool of yourselfs.
Cheryl is such a lovely person, and a great role model. She is very caring and i think we can all say shes emotional!
However, i wouldn't say shes too thin, but it wouldn't be healthy for her to lose more.
I think her legs look fine!,

"Forced to expose her legs in a procession of tiny outfits"?! Oh, for God's sake - nobody forces her to do this "job" nor to dress like a lapdancer.
