The pop star has signed a £1.5million deal with boss Simon Cowell, 54, to come back to ITV talent show The X Factor.
Now the Daily Star Sunday can reveal the singer has already invited former hubby Ashley Cole, 33, and ex-boyfriend Tre Holloway, 28, to hang out with her backstage to help calm her nerves.
Despite their divorce, Chelsea and England ace Cole was one of the first people Cheryl, 30, texted about her return.
She gave him the big news before it was even officially announced.
A source close to the star said: “She will be a bag of nerves backstage at the shows and she knows Ashley and Tre have always been great at calming her down.
“She’s still friends with both of them and will have them on her guest list to hang out with. They’ve both already agreed to come. Most people think it’s amazing that Cheryl wants them at various live shows to put her at ease before she goes in front of the cameras – but they have said yes!
“Tre will be at nearly all the shows and Ashley is ready to step in on the days when he won’t be able to get there.”“Cheryl texts and talks to both of them regularly so it won’t be at all awkward having them around”A showbiz source
New dad Cowell will be busy with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman, 37, and new baby son Eric, who are expected to be at all the shows, so Cheryl is drafting in other men to lavish her with attention.
Our source added: “Simon used to spend all his time hanging out with Cheryl in her dressing room but it seems those days are over.
“Cheryl is really nervous about the shows – especially after the American X Factor turned out to be a disaster for her.
“So having two men there who know her really well will make her feel more comfortable and secure.
“Cheryl texts and talks to both of them regularly so it won’t be at all awkward having them around.”
