According to an insider, Cheryl, who rose to fame in 2002 after landing a spot in Girls Aloud on ITV’s Popstars: The Rivals, is earning £1,000 for every show.
An industry booker told The Sun : “The deal is £100,000 but will also be linked to ticket sales so if she helps shift around 80% of seats then she’ll be entitled to more money on top of that.”
