For the first time since she was dropped from the 'X Factor' USA judging panel, Cheryl Cole has addressed her fans, describing the last few weeks as "the weirdest."
The 27-year-old singer posted a blog on her official website filling in her fans on what she has been up to since her dramatic exit from the reality show.
The Geordie pop-star described her axing from the US version of the show and subsequent departure from 'The X Factor' UK as the "weirdest few weeks", crediting her "amazing" and "inspiring" supporters for helping her to deal with everything.
In the post on her official site, the singer went on to say: "I wanted to talk to you all direct, and first and foremost thank you all for your continued love, unbelievable LOYALTY and support and remind you that I love you all to bits.
"I have had the weirdest past few weeks... What I do know for certain is that I have the BEST, most unbelievable people out there, who I feel so lucky to call my support system. You never fail to amaze me.
"I have been reading your letters and opening my prezzies... and hearing all of your kind, special and inspiring things you want to say to me.
"I feel your presence and strength always, and no matter what decision I make or what it is I'm facing, I appreciate you all more than you'll ever know.
"It also breaks my heart a little when i hear that some of you worry about me and need to know that I am ok, so I want to PROMISE you that I am absolutely fine and more than ok...You are my little soldiers and you mean the world to me. Remember what I tell you, stay strong, keep calm and carry on."
She ended her blog with a reassurance to her fans that she wasn't departing the world of showbiz as had been previously reported.
"I'll speak to you all soon when I have some new news, until then I salute you."
