Die-hard fans: Cheryl Cole followers started camping 21 hours before she arrived


Not rain nor cold weather could deter these die-hard Cheryl Cole fans from camping outside a London book store to catch a glimpse of the star at her signing today.

The dedicated fans queued around Waterstone’s bookshop in Picadilly Circus, 21 hours before the actual signing of her autobiography Through My Eyes.

Starting at around 4pm yesterday, the Cheryl followers set up their tents for a long night ahead, but kept their spirits high by singing some of the pop star’s hits.

Some admitted to photographers that they had skipped school for the event, without telling their parents, while others had even travelled from as far as Scotland to meet the X Factor judge.

And the happy campers made sure to keep warm last night in I Love Cheryl Cole shirts and their sleeping bags.

While one even wore a Cheryl Cole face mask while holding on tightly to the highly anticipated autobiography.

During the night, they passed the time by playing cards, having a few drinks and snacking on McDonald’s takeaways.

The 27-year-old Parachute singer is signing her autobiography, Through My Eyes, today as it hits shelves around the country.

Her book reveals how she’s slowly finding her feet as a solo artist after moving on from Girls Aloud and addresses her friendship with Derek Hough.

Tight security is set to hit Waterstone’s in preparation for the star, after Leona Lewis was attacked at a similar event last October.

A source has revealed that Cheryl’s security team has been beefed up because everyone’s a bit nervous after what happened to 25-year-old Leona.

The fellow singer was last year allegedly punched in the side of her head while she was signing autographs at Waterstone’s.
