She's only 5ft 3in tall, so you’d expect Cheryl Cole to have a few pairs of high heels.
Actually, she has more than a few...
The singer has owned up to owning 2,000 pairs, adding: ‘I hoard them all over the house: in cupboards in the kitchen, in the bathroom – every room.

Shoe queen: Cheryl Cole promotes her new range of footwear for www.stylistpick.com in this week's Grazia Magazine
‘There is a big chance when you open the fridge in my house there will be a pair of shoes at the bottom.’
The former X Factor judge, 28, said: ‘I’ve always, always loved shoes but over the past few years I’ve definitely developed a proper fetish.
'I actually own about 2,000 pairs of shoes – and that’s after giving quite a few away.’
Miss Cole, who boasts that she can walk and dance in shoes ‘of any height’, told Grazia magazine: ‘Because I’m quite small, to me getting dressed is all about the heels.

'I have a pair of Louboutins that are so cripplingly painful – but I’m trying to ease myself into them gently, wearing them for a few minutes every now and again.’
The singer, who was sacked from the X Factor USA in May dashing her Hollywood dreams, said: ‘For me, all shoes have memories - wearing them on a certain occasion like that means the shoe gets that memory.
‘If I can’t wear them again I also can’t get rid of them because they are so linked to that emotion. I’m probably a bit bonkers like that.’
Shoes make the outfit: Cheryl is rarely seen in the same pair of heels twice, which is no surprise if she has 2,000 pairs
She added: ‘My absolute aim is killer shoes that don’t kill your feet. I can walk in heels of any height and I can dance in them because I’ve just been doing this for so long,’ she says.
‘As a kid I was a ballet dancer and I always had really sore toes.
‘I had to have them broken and re-straightened, which sorted them out.

The star said she was pleased to have a fuller figure again after losing weight earlier this year.
She is now a size eight after putting on seven pounds in the last six months. Doctors had advised her to put weight on after she battled malaria.
And the petite singer said: ‘The curves are back, well and truly. I’ve got my boobs and bum back and, yeah, I like it. I think it’s sexy.”
She said: ‘When I’m really thin is normally when I am working non-stop. I don’t put any emphasis on thinking, ‘Oh, I’m thin at the moment.’
‘Right now I’ve got my curves back because I’ve had time off, I’m at home cooking, I’m more relaxed. I’m not defined by being seven pounds heavier than I was two months ago - I think it is really unhealthy to go there.'
And her shoe fetish has spanned into her work life, as the singer has designed a range of shoes for stylistpick.com.
Within her debut shoe range, two of her styles include the ‘Ri Ri’ in honour of Rihanna and ‘Byker Groove’ boots as a nod to her Geordie roots.
