Will.i.am is Cheryl Cole's fairy godfather

Cheryl Cole has referred to Will.i.am as her 'fairy godfather' because he persuaded her to make a solo album.

The Black Eyed Pea produced Cheryl's debut solo album 3 Words after a long campaign of persuasion.

She said, "He's like a fairy godfather to me. He's my mentor. I was doing Girls Aloud and I was very happy with that."

"About a year before we agreed to take a break, I was watching TV with the girls and Will was on it and he was asked, 'Are there any British acts you'd like to collaborate with?' and he said, 'There's two: U2 and Cheryl Cole'."

"We all burst out laughing because the two just didn't seem in the same league. From then on he was persistent."

"He said, 'Let's make a record', he told the girls 'It doesn't have to affect you. Cheryl can do it and she can come back'. He's a genius."
