Cheryl: I was threatened with sack from Bucks Fizz for having mind of my own

The singer, 70, part of the foursome that won the song contest for the UK with Making Your Mind Up in 1981, said bosses resented how she would not be told what to do.

"There were a few run-ins," she said. "I was threatened with the sack once and I was told I was the least valuable member of the band by the woman who put us together.

"It was a really strange environment and I'm not sure the people who put us together were happy with the fact I was coping with it so well and that I wasn't as manipulable as the others.
