Steps' Claire Richards Accidentally Said Her Ears Were Bleeding During Cheryl’s Performance Last Night

    Cheryl's fans got very angry. What a tragedy.

    Last night ex-Steps member Claire Richards accidentally got into some trouble with Cheryl's loyal soldiers.

    During Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's perfomance on BBC's Children In Need last night, Claire sent this tweet.

    Cheryl's fans were not happy about it.

    @_ClaireRichards come back when you're the most successful female artist in the UK yeah?

    @_ClaireRichards still going? Oh wow! Grow up! You aren't even verified!

    “@_ClaireRichards: My ears are bleeding xx”instead of focussing on cheryl focus on your own career

    “@_ClaireRichards: My ears are bleeding xx𠇝ont be so damn rude you cant sing yourself go back to big brother #reject

    She then claimed that she wasn't talking about Cheryl at all, despite the fact that she had previously been tweeting about Children In Need.
