Twice married Cheryl first found fame in Girls Aloud before becoming a household name as a judge on the X Factor, later welcoming son Bear with One Direction’s Liam Payne, 29, and acting on the West End stage.
A source told The Sun: ‘There’s been a long line of other stars who’ve done the same, relishing the rare chance to give their side of the story in their own words’.
‘But Cheryl will only go ahead if she’s completely comfortable with what approach they’ll take and her level of input’.
‘It’s too soon to say which broadcaster would most likely air the show, but with competition between terrestrial channels and streamers stronger than ever it would likely spark a bidding battle.’
MailOnline have contacted Cheryl’s reps for comment.
