Reports have suggested that friends are concerned over Cheryl Cole's health after she almost pulled out of a recent appearance in Venice.

We noticed that Cheryl looked glum when she was pictured arriving in the city and her mood didn't seem much improved on departure.

The Mirror has reported that Cheryl almost pulled out of her appearance last Friday night where she was due to perform at a private function for car manufacturer Audi.

The paper claims that her confidante, Hilary Shaw was overheard saying: "It's been a terrible week. She’s cancelling everything. She doesn’t want to do it - she doesn't want to do anything.

"I'm really worried about the repercussions."

Do you think Cheryl should take some time out after a hectic 2010?
