"Sorry for my absence on here the past few days," she wrote on Thursday. "I have been so sick. Trying to be better for Sat."
According to MailOnline Cheryl is "suffering from the highly contagious strep throat – a bacterial infection that attacks the tonsils and larynx."
This week's X Factor shows will see two hopefuls leave the competition.

"Whether it's Saturday or Sunday, I'll be one of the ones that goes this weekend," he told RadioTimes.com.
