Cheryl Cole has dyed her hair a plum red to symbolize a fresh start following her divorce from footballer Ashley Cole.

The singer and X Factor judge decided to spice up her colour shortly after finding out that her divorce from the footballer is likely to be officially confirmed in the High Court this week, according to The Sun.

Cole's lawyers will reportedly apply for a decree absolute today (18th October) after having been granted a decree nisi six weeks ago.

According to a source, the 'Parachute' singer's new style is showing the world: "I'm back!" and when she came into the X Factor studion with her new style, apparently she said: "Right, let's kick some arse!"

Cheryl Cole will be talking about her divorce, something she didn't mention in her autobiography, with Piers Morgan on his show 'Life Stories'. It will air on 23rd October at 10pm.
