Cheryl has fear of drowning

Singer Cheryl says she has a long-standing fear of drowning.

The 33-year-old singer, who explored her family history in the TV show "Who Do You Think You Are?," discovered that her four times great grandfather was a seaman and admitted she is afraid of the ocean, reported Female First.

"It's interesting, because I hate the sea. I've always been afraid of it.

"I used to have really bad dreams when I was little about drowning in the sea, being an old woman with a headscarf on and I was the old woman. Isn't that weird?," Cheryl said.
