It’s been a tough few weeks for Cheryl.
Cheryl hit the stage again last night to perform her brand new single, Love Made Me Do It, on The Graham Norton Show.
In her first televised performance since her “disastrous” comeback on X Factor, the 35-year-old pulled out all the stops for the show.
For the most part, fans were loving it – especially the choreography.
However, there was one thing that they just couldn’t get past. Many fans took to Twitter to accuse Cheryl of miming throughout the song.
I swear that Cheryl is miming #GrahamNorton

Cheryl’s miming is bloody dreadful. Much like her new song. #GrahamNorton

It comes after the pop star responded to the “relentless abuse” over her X Factor performance late last month.
The mum-of-one responded to the critics on Twitter, after she thanked her fans for their “lovely comments and support” amid the drama.
She said:
“I wanted to start by saying thank you all so much for your lovely comments and support about my performance on Sunday. You may not have read about them but I definitely saw and felt them.
“Having spent 16 years in the public eye I have always been accepting of people’s opinions. Me personally, my music and performances are never going to be for everyone. And that’s OK.
“I let a lot of things lie but the sheer level of unbalanced negativity towards me in the tabloid press these past few days has been quite frankly shocking and I need to address it.
“This level of relentless abuse should not be tolerated in any walk of life.”
She finished up the post with a defiant message to the people who had critiqued her.
She added:
“I did watch my performance back and I LOVED IT!”
