X Factor's Cheryl joins the dames in top 50
women in TV
THE X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has been named as one of the 50 most powerful women in film and television this year in a top accolade from the industry.
The Girls Aloud singer rubs shoulders with on-screen talent like Dames Maggie Smith, Julie Walters and Helen Mirren as well as bosses of TV stations, film-makers and writers.
She has been recognised for the part she has played in making the talent
show one of the most successful ever on British screens, said the judges of the prestigious annual list.
The 50 include executives like BBC boss Jana Bennett and former MP Oona King, now head of diversity at Channel 4 as well as Elisabeth Murdoch of indie production company Shine.
It also names the top female writers including Jonathan Ross's wife Jane Goldman and Ruth Jones who co-created and starred in Gavin and Stacey.
And the list by the organisation Women in Film and Television (WFTV) also includes leading women behind the scenes from producers to costume designers and casting directors
Cheryl Cole is among the top ten "talent" - ranging from veterans like Julie Walters and Helena Bonham Carter to the new crop of actresses such as Carey Mulligan and Gemma Arterton.
The judges said of Cole: "She is probably the most famous woman in the country right now. Cheryl Cole has gone from reality show contestant to fashion icon, platinum-selling recording artist and X Factor judge in the space of eight years.
"Highly influential, the former footballer's wife is now considered the nation's sweetheart.
