Girls Aloud star, babe Cheryl Cole has been quick to help out a struggling contestant on the show The X Factor where she is a judge.

Cole jumped onto the stage and held the hand of Aimee Buck after Buck was given a second chance to sing for the panel.

Simon Cowell was unimpressed by the 22 year olds first song Alicia Keys’s Fallin’ and interrupted with unkind words.

“I’ve heard enough. I think you’ve got a good voice, you’re very well prepared, you look fantastic. But I don’t think your voice is good enough, darling.”

Cowells comments made Buck cry and she begged for a second chance, the audience and the panel all agreed for her to have the second chance and she then started sing I’ll Stand By You.

But Buck soon lets her nervous get the better of her and starts making hard work of the song.

Cole quickly jumps onto the stage, holds Buck’s hand and started singing with her.

At the end of the song Cole praised Buck commenting

“Well done, babe.”

Aimee Buck has said.

“Someone who inspires me is Cheryl Cole because we’ve both come from Newcastle, both from working backgrounds. Look at her now – she’s a superstar. I hope I can follow in her footsteps.”
