Cheryl Cole feared plane crash

Cheryl Cole had a terrifying experience on a plane where she thought she was going to die.

Cheryl was at Frankfurt airport in Germany recently when a huge storm hit just before the aircraft was about to take off.

The bad weather was right over the grounded private jet and lightning struck the runway just a few metres from the plane.

It left the 'Call My Name' singer needing her sick bag before the passengers made it into the air.

She told The Sun newspaper: ''We were stuck in the plane and just sitting on the runway and a bright massive flash of light hit outside the aircraft. I said to my friend, 'That's lightning' -- then it just didn't stop.

''I was so scared that I thought, 'This is it. I've got an album to promote and I've got so much yet to do!'''

She continued to explain that climbing a mountain helped her tackle her travelling fear that day.

She added: ''We had to stay put in the aircraft on the runway. They couldn't even take us back to the terminal.

''When we finally took off about an hour later I was terrified we'd be hit by lightning in the air. But I remembered I'd climbed Kilimanjaro, so took a bit of strength from that.''
