While reports of Cheryl Cole failing to gain a place in the US version of the X Factor have cast doubts over the career prospects of the Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole has come out smiling for a Princes Trust event.

The singer from the north east arrived at the event looking fresh faced and happy while sporting a peach coloured Sass & Bibe dress that had been slashed to the thigh to show off her shapely legs.

Cheryl Cole was showing her support for the Prince's TrustCelebrate Success Awards which was held at the Odeon in Leicester Square in London.

This is not the first time that the singer has been behind a project involving Prince Charles as she is rumoured to be working with the Prince on her own charitable foundation.

She said about the children the foundation supports: “They have so much potential – but can go off the rails without the right care and support. I want my foundation to help them realise their potential and get their lives on track.”

While Cheryl may not be able to take a seat on the judging panel for the US version of the X Factor it has been reported that she will still be taking part in the show as it is rumoured that Simon Cowell continues to fight the corner of the singer who had been dropped reportedly because of her strong Geordie accent.

Kimberly Walsh, also of Girls Aloud fame, joined Cheryl on the red carpet while other stars came out in support of the charity including Christine Bleakley, Naomie Harris, Konnie Huq and Emma Willis.
