Cheryl Cole has slammed Conservative party leader David Cameron, calling him 'slippery'. In an interview with the latest issue of Q magazine, the singer and X Factor judge made it clear where her political allegiances lie. She said: "David Cameron. Brrrrr. Slippery isn't he? We've always been Labour in our family, it just feels wrong not to be. Better the devil you know." The Girls Aloud star also admitted that she's not nearly as concerned about cracking America as everyone thinks. She said: "There's a rumble about going over but I don't want to put myself out there to fail. "I'm not at that point of going solo [full time] yet. The other day I was like, oh god, why would you even do this when you've got for four friends as a security blanket?" She also revealed that she had turned down now hubby Ashley Cole several times before they got together. "I had a preconceived idea of what footballers were like. Ashley is ridiculously, painfully shy. You can't tar everyone with the same brush." Click here to watch whatsontv.co.uk's new weekly soaps video preview, the Soap Scoop
