Cheryl Cole has revealed she wants to start a family - but a hectic schedule put her plans on hold.
The singer and X Factor judge made the revelations in the new Girls Aloud book, Dreams the Glitter.
She said in the book: "Family is becoming a priority. I started to think more about having children when I met Ashley. These days there's no reason why you can't have a family and a career.
"I'm from a big family and I want a big family and that means I have to make a start soon - so watch this space."
Meanwhile, bandmate Nicola Roberts also revealed that she has struggled with the colour of her skin.
She said: "I was so pale. I hated it and I hated people judging me. I'd put on the telly and there'd be someone saying something cruel, or I'd open a magazine and read it...
"Being so young and shy it felt terrible... You've got no idea the lengths I went to just to be brown."
