Cole wanted to be 'big sister' to Britney

Cheryl Cole thought she could help Britney Spears – who suffered a public meltdown, culminating with her shaving her head in 2007 – become “normal” again, according to her ex-minder Craig Balkam.

A friend told how Balkam had said: “She used to talk about Britney Spears. She kept saying she wanted to help Britney - that she thought she could become like a big sister to her and make her normal again after all her crazy behaviour.”
