Cheryl appeared in two British Gas adverts, an SCS advert, and an Eldon
Square Christmas advert with younger brother Garry.
Cheryl was working as a waitress when she entered the UK talent-search show
Popstars The Rivals. In the final show she received the most votes in the
poll to choose the girls for the all-female group Girls Aloud, and was thus
the first to be picked for the group.
Nightclub Incident
On January 11, 2003 Tweedy was involved in an altercation with a nightclub
toilet attendant, Sophie Amogbokpa, in the Drink nightclub in Guildford, UK.
Tweedy was subsequently charged with racially aggravated assault and assault
occasioning actual bodily harm. During her trial Tweedy claimed she acted in
self defence and denied using racially abusive language.
The jury found her guilty of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, but
cleared her of the more serious charge of racially aggravated assault. The
judge sentenced her to 120 hours of community service and ordered to pay her
victim £500 in compensation, as well as £3000 prosecution costs. Critics
claimed that the sentence imposed was lenient. Some also believed that
Tweedy's record company were planning to drop her if the sentence was
harsher.
Tweedy faced criticism not only for the initial incident, but also for her
subsequent public statements apologising to her fans, record company and
bandmates but not to Mrs Amogbokpa. Mrs Amogbokpa then attempted to launch a
civil court action against Tweedy, however this never materialised.
Tweedy admitted she had acted incorrectly and regretted the incident which
took place under the influence of alcohol. She was angered by claims she was
racist, citing her friendship with Javine Hylton on Popstars as evidence she
was not. |
