The X Factor judge admitted she didn't have an easy time of it to Capital FM presenters Dave Berry and Lisa Snowden

HAVING your backside covered in roses couldn't have been an easy process for Cheryl Cole, and now the star has admitted it did hurt.

The gorgeous singer who first unveiled the huge tattoo of English roses – which took more than 15 hours to have done in Los Angeles –  last summer, told Capital FM presenters Dave Berry and Lisa Snowden on their breakfast show this morning all about it.

Dave cheekily asked: "Your famous bum tattoo? That must have hurt right?

Cheryl replied: "Yes," to which Dave asked: "It's a very sensitive area?" And the 30-year-old X Factor judge coyly answered him with an "okay."

Dave also asked where does it actually start and finish to which Cheryl said: "It starts at the middle of me back and who knows where it finishes."

And when Lisa asked: "Is it all over each cheek?" Cheryl winked back to confirm it.

The Girls Alouder, who has around 20 tattoos in total, went on the show to promote her new single Crazy, Stupid Love, and ended up flirting quite a bit with Dave who asked her if she wanted to go on a date and told her she had 'pretty eyes'.

Geordie Chezza also joked about who she would prefer to be sat next to on the X Factor panel out of judges Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell, saying: "As far away as I possibly can means next to Louis, so hopefully next to Simon!"

Chezza enjoyed posing up a storm in the studio with Lisa and Dave, where she gave a sneaky glimpse of her tatt!

Kimberly Walsh's BFF also said she doesn't get nervous performing in front of other big pop stars but said she would be intimidated at this year's Summertime Ball performance if Pharrell Williams was watching her in the wings.

"Oh, maybe Pharrell yes! I've always wanted to work with Pharrell for years and years and years. Can you hook us up?"

We like the sound of that, Chezza.
