BEAMING birthday girl Cheryl Cole waved at fans at today’s X Factor auditions.
The Girls Aloud singer carried a huge bunch of flowers – though to be a 26th birthday present from footballer husband Ashley Cole – as she arrived for the auditions in Birmingham.

The Chelsea player accompanied the X Factor judge who was dressed in an orange mini skirt, purple shirt and heels.

An ecstatic Cheryl waved at fans before entering the International Convention Centre with Xtra Factor presenter Holly Willoughby.

A grinning Dannii Minogue arrived looking equally leggy in a short black dress, strappy shoes and a white top.

While the two female judges rocked the glamorous look, Louis Walsh and boss Simon Cowell were more restrained.

Louis arrived dressed jeans and trainers, while Cowell stuck to jeans and a t-shirt.
