Cheryl Cole Speaks Out for First Time Since Being Canned From ‘X Factor’

Cheryl Cole was recently fired from 'X Factor' and replaced by Nicole Scherzinger, but according to a June 19 message written by the British pop star, she's "absolutely fine."

Cole used her website to post a note to her fans in which she expressed appreciation for their concern, but insisted she's okay. "It's me!" she wrote. "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."

Despite having the "weirdest past few weeks," the 27-year-old said she has "the best" support system in her "little soldiers." She continued, "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!"

While she's reportedly working on her new album, Cole said she's had some time off to do "normal" things like "see my friends and family and be with my doggys." She ended her note by promising to check in when she has a new announcement. "I'll speak to you all soon when I have some new news," she concluded. "Until then I salute you."
