Cheryl Tweedy – who is on Saturday Night Takeaway tonight (Saturday, April 13) – has been in the spotlight since finding fame in 2002 on Popstars.
However, it hasn’t always been an easy ride for the star, and she’s been hit with several scandals over the years. Here’s an inside look at some of them…
Assault conviction
Back in 2003, after finding fame with Girls Aloud having won Popstars: The Rivals, Cheryl was involved in an altercation that saw her charged with assault.
The incident took place during a night out in Surrey. Cheryl, who was 20 at the time, got into a fight with toilet attendant Sophie Amogbokpa.
Cheryl had tried to take a lollipop, however, Amogobokpa insisted that she pay. An argument developed, which led to Cheryl punching the toilet attendant.
In October 2003, Cheryl was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm but was cleared of the racially aggravated assault charge.
