Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is reportedly set to give frenemy Simon Cowell a run for his money by setting up her own record label.

According to The Mirror, the 31-year old is keen to help new artists get a start in the music industry and thanks to her role as a judge on the X Factor, has become a pro at spotting new talent.

A source told the tabloid: "It’s a natural next step for Cheryl, having coached contestants for years on The X Factor.

“She knows what it takes to succeed in the industry from her experience as a performer – both as a solo artist and as a group, from her years in Girls Aloud.

“Cheryl definitely knows her stuff. The artists she’ll be interested in won’t just be pop acts – it will cross over all genres.

“She loves music and is really excited about being able to springboard new talent."

They continued: "At the moment, she has just finished recording her new album.

“Once Only Human has been released – towards the end of the year – she’s going to focus all her attention on her label.

“There’s interest from all the big labels, but Cheryl may just go it alone.”

Back in March, SiCo revealed he offered the Crazy Stupid Love singer her own subsidiary at record label Sony when she signed her £1.5million deal to rejoin the XF panel.

La la la la la la la love
La la la la la la la love
La la la la la la la love
La la la la la la la love
La la la la la la la love
La la la la la la la love
La la la la la la la love
La la la la la la la love

Swore I would never be that girl holding your hand
Look at you gazing, acting like your biggest fan
I used to make fun of all the things that they said
Saying I will never be like that
But then you showed up like you had been there before
Was like you knew me, had me with every word
You saw right through me, melted me down to the core
I was done when you walked through that door

Well, I don't know how you do it to me
You make my brain just stop, sink my heart to my feet
It's like a rollercoaster but I'm only going up
I'm in crazy stupid love

So call me baby, in front of all of your friends
It used to shake me, but would you say it again?
It's a weird feeling, we're laying here in the dark
And I don't wanna fight this spark
You got me flying, don't wanna ever come down
I'm realising I kinda need you around
Hard to believe it, I'm that girl holding your hand
And I'm still tryna understand

Well, I don't know how you do it to me
You make my brain just stop, sink my heart to my feet
It's like a rollercoaster but I'm only going up
I'm in crazy stupid love

Whistle, I like it when you blow the whistle
You make me wanna ch-bang bang bang bang bang, baby
I don't own a pistol
My tongue wagging when you wiggle
I'll end up kissing you with or without the mistle
Love the open toes and the clothes even though we ain't official
You official, you official
When you see me in a suit, say I'm so smooth criminal
Playing hard to get, girl you're being too difficult
Let me in your mind 'fore I get to the physical
I ain't tryna mess with any woman, that's typical, need original
Lips and eyes
Big surprise if she have hips and thighs
Kissed her twice, now she say I'm Mr Right
She had my D, now she dickmatised, woah lord

Well, I don't know how you do it to me
You make my brain just stop, sink my heart to my feet
It's like a rollercoaster but I'm only going up
(The only way's up!)
I'm in crazy stupid love

La la la la la la la love
La la la la la la la love
I'm in crazy stupid love
Oh I'm in crazy stupid love
La la la la la la la love
La la la la la la la love

He said at the time: "I’ve said to Cheryl if she wants a label at Sony I would do it in a heartbeat because she is a really good judge of talent.

“Cheryl got Cher Lloyd into the final – no one else would have done that.”

However, Simon will not be able to take credit for the idea, with the Geordie babe previously stating in 2009: “I’d love to have my own label in the future.

“I would love to be on that side of it, I love hearing new artists, I love choosing songs and developing acts. So that’s something I’ve got planned.”
