Cheryl Cole wowed fans with her first solo performance since splitting with husband Ashley Cole.

The 26-year-old pop star - who dumped the 29-year-old sportsman two weeks ago, after it was claimed he had slept with several other women and sent them X-rated text messages and explicit photographs of himself - performed her hit single 'Fight for This Love' on Denmark's version of 'The X Factor' last night (05.03.10), without wearing her wedding ring.

Cheryl - who wore a military inspired outfit with a police style hat - told the audience in Copenhagen: "It's a pleasure to be here."

It was confirmed that 'The X Factor' judge used her maiden name, Tweedy, to book her flight into Denmark and secure her hotel room.

Her spokesman told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Cheryl's name on her passport is Cheryl Tweedy which is why her flight was booked under that name. Her passport was not changed when she married Ashley. As for the hotel booking, it is always made under an alias. All pop stars do the same and she was doing that when she was in Girls Aloud as well."

It also emerged that the singer is "upset" with bandmate Nadine Coyle, who has not been in contact since she split from Ashley.

A friend said: "This could be the final straw which splits the band up."
