Cheryl Cole To Snub X Factor Stars At The BRITs?

Chezza apparently doesn't want to sit with Alexandra Burke & Olly Murs...

Cheryl Cole has reportedly snubbed former The X Factor contestants Alexandra Burke and Olly Murs , by asking not to be seated with them at The 2011 BRIT Awards next month.

According to the Daily Star, Chezza has requested to be sat separately from the XF alumni because she wants to be recognised as a "successful solo artist" and not just a talent show judge who is pals with Simon Cowell.

The Girls Aloud singer, who has been nominated for two gongs at the star-studded bash, is said to have made it clear that she wants to be acknowledged for her music and for being a star in her own right.

A BRITs source told the newspaper: "Cheryl has had a fantastic year professionally. And quite rightfully she would love to be recognised for her musical achievements solely. She’s made it clear she would prefer not to be with the X Factor stars."

“Cheryl doesn’t mean to be picky but she’s asked not to be seated at the same table as Alexandra Burke or Olly Murs. She wants to walk down the red carpet by herself and be pictured by herself as a solo musician. She is a true star.”

The insider added: “She loves Alexandra and is very proud of Olly but would prefer not to be grouped with the X Factor crew so she can be set apart and treated as a performer."

“The public are so fascinated and obsessed with her love life and personal issues they forget how hard she works on her albums.”

Chezza is set to do battle with Olly and Alexandra in the Best British Single category, as well as being nominated for the Best British Female Artist accolade at the prestigious ceremony on 15th February.
