Cheryl Cole joined the greats of rock’n’roll history when
she gained a criminal record. Not by being busted for drugs, or using
unladylike language in public, or throwing a TV out a window. Something much more
unbecoming for this chav pin-up: For beating the crap out of someone.
Back in 2003, with her British pop act Girls Aloud riding
high on the success of their debut hit Sound
of the Underground, convicted felon Cole felt overwhelmed by the need to
punch a nightclub’s bathroom attendant in the face following a dispute about a
lollipop one enchanted evening.
The then-Miss Tweedy punched one of the club’s workers, 39-year-old
Sophie Amogbokpa, causing her eye to swell up for weeks.
