CHERYL Cole is turning the big 3-1 today and it looks like someone is getting VERY spoilt.

With a delivery of 310 red roses to her hotel room, The X Factor judge revealed she was celebrating a day early with her smitten picture.

She captioned it: "Happy birthday to me!! Such a beautiful night. Thank you for all your well wishes ! #310 #stunning #surprise."

And to help her mark her special day, here at OK! Online we're taking a trip down memory lane.

From Popstars The Rivals, all the way through to her soaring solo career, we've gathered our most memorable moments from the Girls Aloud star's life.

1.Before she was famous
Even before she hit double figures, our favourite Geordie had that special star quality.

2. Popstars The Rivals
She's almost unrecognisable! Chezza first came into our lives back in 2002 when she made her first steps into the limelight.

Chezza was full of smiles when she first burst onto our screens

3. Lady in red
The young pop star become a firm favourite of ours as she battled her way through each round, eventually making it into Girls Aloud.

4. Girlband times
And it begins! Cheryl joined her fellow four girls to battle in the charts against One True Voice (remember them?!). Hands up who rushed to buy the single?

She made it! Kimberley Walsh's pal successfully became 1/5 of Girls Aloud

5. Sound Of The Underground
Come on, admit it, you still find yourself singing it out loud every now and then...

6. Cheryl in court
Things took a bad turn for the British sweetheart when she was taken to court after hitting a toilet attendant. Cheryl was found guilty of assault but not for a racist attack.

7. Ashley Cole wedding
Cheryl wed English footballer Ashley in 2007. Sadly their marriage ended after just four years together thanks to a series of cheating allegations.

8. Oh dear…
But that's not before the couple dressed up as angels and posed for the National Lottery. The less said about THAT, the better.

Hm, we're betting Cheryl wants to forget this ever happened…[National Lottery]

9.BRIT Awards
Girls Aloud reached the height of their success when they won their BRIT Award for Best British Single. Well, The Promise WAS a tune.

Success! The Girls Aloud gang hit the big time with their BRIT Award [Wenn]

10. Time to go solo
Cheryl bravely went out into the music world alone with her debut single, Fight For This Love in 2009. Definite hit in our books.

11. Malaria strikes
After hitting the big time with her judging role on The X Factor, Cheryl was sadly taken ill with a case of malaria following a trip to Tanzania. She recovered just in time for her new big job…

12. USA X Factor
Sadly, Cheryl Cole did not live her big American dream the way she wanted to. She did get a nice pay out from Simon Cowell at the end of it all though.

12. Derek Hough
Dancing With The Stars hottie became a regular by Ms. Cole's side. While the two never confirmed any dating rumours, we did have our suspicions.

13. GA tour
What better way to celebrate 10 years of Girls Aloud then with one final big tour?! Here's hoping they do a Spice Girls and reunite every few years.

14. Tre Holloway
Cheryl found love again in the form of American dancer Tre. Unfortunately, a difference in life goals eventually saw the two part ways.
