Cheryl Cole shocked fans at a Girls Aloud concert last night when she stepped on stage looking skinnier than ever.Just weeks after admitting she had body insecurities and ‘hated her legs’, the singer looked gaunt and bony as she performed at the Sandown Racecourse in Esher, Surrey. Dressed in a plunging, gold Julien MacDonald mini-dress, Cheryl’s protruding collar bone and decreasing cleavage was all too apparent. While her bandmates had exposed their legs in the PVC outifts, Cheryl opted for PVC leggings to cover up her legs after recently admitting she didn’t like them.

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.’ Hmmh…we feel the same way Cheryl, so not to worry.

Cheryl has looked skinny for years, but her figure has been looking thinner than ever this year following press allegations her husband Ashley Cole had cheated on her. Friends of the singer have claimed she has dropped several dress sizes, from a healthy size 10 to a tiny size 6. Despite Cheryl’s increasingly skinny frame, the pop star was named the UK’s Favourite Fantasy Body in a poll of 2,000 men and women by YouGov last month.
