"Cheryl Cole has revealed that she &amp;quot;wants to hug&amp;quot; troubled star Britney Spears. The singer claimed that she finds it &amp;quot;devastating&amp;quot; to see Spears going through such a tough time, after idolising the pop princess when she was younger. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s devastating to see Britney like this. It&amp;#039;s so sad, she needs help,&amp;quot; Cheryl told The Sun. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s mentally ill.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s someone I idolised growing up and I wanted to be like her,&amp;quot; Cole continued. &amp;quot;She was amazing and had the whole package. It&amp;#039;s such a shame. I just want to hug her.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve said that she can come to my house and I&amp;#039;ll look after her - but she&amp;#039;s rejecting people. Denial, that&amp;#039;s what that is. It looks like she&amp;#039;s got post-natal depression that&amp;#039;s got out of control.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
