Cheryl Tweedy’s musical comeback has been a, er, mixed bag so far – and her latest performance has divided fans once more.
The singer was accused of “miming” her new single, Love Made Me Do it, on Friday night’s Graham Norton show, with viewers attacking her for seeming “tired.”
One tweeted: “Cheryl Cole miming on Graham Norton is 100% cringe.”
Another commented: “I love Cheryl, but damn, her Graham Norton performance was worse than when she was at X Factor. She looks worn out and tired, the backing track is loud af, she has no more energy in her performance. Bad.”
A third added meanly: “Cheryl is [bleeping] dire #GrahamNorton.”

But others loved the performance, with one tweeting: “@CherylOfficial looked amazing on Graham Norton 🥰 dancing on point, flawless queen!”
Another said: “Feel sorry for @CherylOfficial she’s been getting a lot of unnecessary abuse lately…cut the girl some slack. I think she’s awesome xx #GrahamNorton.”
A third commented: “Absolutely superb performance on the #GrahamNorton show. Bravo! Your best ever song and performance, in my humblest opinion! 👏.”
The former Girls Aloud, who is mum to baby Bear, later took to Instagram to thank the BBC for having her.

Fans labelled the 35-year-old “awful,” “awkward,” and even “painful.”
There were even complaints to Ofcom, that continued to rise through the following week.
The Greatest Dancer presenter later hit back on Twitter, explaining: “I wanted to start by saying thank you all so much for your lovely comments and support for my performance on Sunday. You may not have read about them but I definitely saw and felt them!
