Cheryl Cole: Nobu Night with the Girls

Cheryl Cole arrives at Nobu restaurant on Friday (December 17) in London, England.

The 27-year-old singer, who rocked a strapless silk jumpsuit, shared dinner with her Girls Aloud bandmates Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh.

Sharon Osbourne recently caused some controversy when she told a magazine that Cheryl wouldn’t be accepted by America if she became a judge on the U.S. version of The X Factor.

“Cheryl‘s perfect for England. She’s the nation’s sweetheart and they absolutely love her,” she reportedly told Now magazine.

“But over here [in America], it’s Nicole [Scherzinger]‘s town. You have to think of the audience and most of them would never have heard of Girls Aloud,” she said.
