"Cheryl Cole has described 2010 as the worst year of her life. The X Factor judge told The Sun that her divorce from husband Ashley has left her in &amp;quot;non-stop tears&amp;quot;, adding that her struggle with malaria was &amp;quot;horrendous&amp;quot;. She said: &amp;quot;Anybody that&amp;#039;s been through a divorce, and I hope it&amp;#039;s something people never have to experience, it&amp;#039;s the worst thing in the world. When your heart is breaking... it doesn&amp;#039;t make a difference what car you drive, what house you have, all of that. It&amp;#039;s a minor detail, it&amp;#039;s nothing. &amp;quot;Right now it&amp;#039;s still fresh, it hasn&amp;#039;t been long you know? It&amp;#039;s still raw. It does make you feel numb. I don&amp;#039;t recognise myself sometimes. It has been non-stop tears. Just too much. It has been the worst year, the worst in my life ever.&amp;quot; Speaking of her battle with malaria, the singer added: &amp;quot;It was horrendous. It was 12 weeks of pain, and I was really sick. Being told that I had 24 hours to live, or that my mum got told that. When it&amp;#039;s you, when you feel that ill, you don&amp;#039;t take it on board. &amp;quot;But for your mother and the people that care about you to be told that is hard. I thought, if it&amp;#039;s going to happen just hurry up. I was just too tired. I was too sick. You haven&amp;#039;t got enough strength to feel fear, if that makes any sense. You&amp;#039;re too weak, you&amp;#039;re too physically drained. I could speak but I was just so tired.&amp;quot; Cole also revealed that she will focus on her music in the coming months, describing it as her &amp;quot;escape&amp;quot;.
