Cheryl Cole is to perform her new single ‘Fight For This Love’ on X Factor this weekend. But will she sing live, or will she mime as Alexandra Burke did last week?

Cherly admitted she was very nervous about the performance on Monday’s Chris Moyles show, saying:

“I’m absolutely terrified. The nerves started weeks ago. It’s really here and happening on Saturday. I love performing but I’ve sat for weeks judging people and now I’m putting myself out there to be judged.”

Reports in the Daily Mail suggest that she will mime, but surely all her fans want her to sing live? If it’s good enough for the contestants…

She has insisted that she won’t be miming when she performs her new single on Saturday night’s X Factor – but she won’t actually be performing it on Saturday night at all.

Instead, Cheryl is to pre-record her performance ‘live’ before the show, because of timing issues.

“I really don’t see the problem. I will be singing live, I just won’t have time to get changed and get prepared for the performance, and be a judge on the show. It would be too hectic.” Cheryl was quoted as saying in the London Evening Standard.
