Cheryl Cole has pulled out of next month's V Festival and the boot camp stage of The X Factor due to her ongoing battle with malaria, a spokeswoman for the singer said tonight.
The 27-year-old star contracted the disease on a trip to Tanzania last month, despite taking malaria tablets.
"Cheryl Cole is making good progress but following medical advice she will not be able to take part in X Factor's boot camp stage or perform at V," her spokeswoman said.
