Cheryl Cole has disclosed that a collaboration with Rihanna on a new single could be in the works.
In a backstage interview during the Brit Awards on Tuesday evening, the X Factor star mentioned that discussions about a joint record with Rihanna had taken place.
Regarding the Bajan singer’s performance at the event, Cole expressed, ‘Rihanna was absolutely stunning. I adore Rihanna. Her performance was definitely the highlight for me.
‘I admire her greatly. It would be amazing to perform with her and create a single together. I would love to record something with her, and she shares the same sentiment.
‘There may be plans in motion.’
At the awards ceremony held at the O2 Arena, Cole was spotted giving a playful pat on Rihanna’s bottom while presenting her with an award.
As she gave out the accolade, the Parachute singer humorously exclaimed, ‘And the winner of the Best International Female Solo Artist is, my girl crush, what’s her name? Rihanna.’
On the other hand, the 27-year-old dazzled in a backless black Stella McCartney gown while attending the Universal after-party at the Savoy Hotel later that night.
Making a striking entrance in her thigh-split dress, a slightly nervous Cheryl made sure to protect her modesty by placing a hand over the top of her slit.
After her performance at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, the Girls Aloud star traveled five miles to continue the celebrations.
Universal, the parent company of her record label Polydor, welcomed a star-studded crowd that included Pixie Lott, Take That, and Eliza Doolittle.
Unlike some of her peers, Cole maintained her composure while leaving the event early this morning.
Although she may have felt disheartened about not bringing home any awards, there was no sign of disappointment as she celebrated until the early hours.
The X Factor judge missed out on both the British Female Solo Artist and the British Single awards.
She lost the British Female Solo Artist title to relatively unknown singer Laura Marling, and the British Single award to Tinie Tempah, despite being nominated for her hit, Parachutes.
Despite her two near misses, she smiled brightly for the camera, capturing attention in her shimmering gown.
Cheryl wasn’t alone in her disappointment, as Take That also missed out on the Best Album award which went to public school band Mumford & Sons.
