Cheryl hits back at false claims after being pictured with 'white powder'

After a picture was taken of her in the toilets

Published 25th Nov 2015

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has hit back at false claims she was pictured with 'white powder'.

The X Factor judge has reportedly called in lawyers after a picture apparently showing her with a mystery white powder surfaced online.

However it appears that the 'white powder' was in fact just a reflection caused by the set up of the light and mirror where Cheryl was photographed.

The star has previously said she's against drugs after the death of her close football friend John Courtney and she's criticised Pete Doherty for it too.

A source, close to Cheryl, told a national newspaper "It's outrageous that someone in the fashion industry has taken a picture of Cheryl like this and posted it publicly.

"She absolutely despises drugs and any connection linking her to them is ridiculous. She was just using the toilet."

Cheryl is currently a judge on The X Factor.
