Have you ever paid attention to Cheryl's feet?

Probably not - but that might be because you've never seen them. In case your haven't noticed, the singer rarely bares them in public and actually looks like she goes to serious lengths to cover them up; either with a very long pant-leg or with boots. Don't believe us? See here: And here: And here: And here: And here: Not forgetting here: Told you. The reason her feet always seem to be covered? Cheryl is said to be self conscious of them and worried about people with foot fetishes checking her out. The star specifically asked for her feet not to be shown during a shoot for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge in 2010. "Don’t put the camera on my feet," she said. "A lot of people have foot fetishes, but they wouldn’t have them over mine." You might think that Chez is being ever-so-slightly paranoid but the fact is that foot fetishism isn't all that rare. Also known as podophilia, feet are one of the most commonly fetishised body parts after genitalia. The reason for someone being into feet (or even things like shoes or toe-sucking) isn't fully clear but it could be a case of cross-wiring in the brain. The brain areas associated with genitals and the feet are next to one another, reports LiveScience. Elvis Presley and artist Andy Warhol are among some of the famous people who are believed to have fetishised feet, according to Psychology Today.
