She names Mica Paris or Beverley Knight as her preferred hosts. Sheryl Nwosu, the chair of the Black Music Coalition, says she was surprised when she heard about the podcast. BBC Sounds, which made the podcast in collaboration with BBC Radio 2, said it was one of many new music commissions, with a variety of hosts.
Comedian London Hughes tweeted to say that the podcast was unsurprising because "white women have always been allowed to take up space in UK 'black music'. Cheryl and the podcast were accused of "profiting off black spaces". Some of the criticism has focussed on the singer's conviction for an assault against a black toilet attendant, which was found by a court not to be a racist attack.
The incident took place when Cheryl, 38, was 20 years old, shortly after she became famous as part of Girls Aloud. Newsbeat has contacted Cheryl's management for comment on the backlash, but they have yet to respond.

From the plumber who claims Cheryl loved to wear a cowboy hat in the bedroom and had sex with her seven times in one day to the reality star she dumped for fame, Sun Online takes a look at some of the men who got away. One of Cheryl's early boyfriends was plumber Steve Thornton, then 21, who she dated for five months back in In , he said that Cheryl seduced him by putting a blindfold on him and leading him upstairs, telling him "I'm going to give you the ride of your life".
Steve said Cheryl would "flirt outrageously with me over the counter and give me secret sexy looks. He also said they enjoyed a raunchy sex life, with Cheryl also role-playing as Britney Spears in the bedroom, performing a "sexy strip" to Baby One More Time. Steve also said they called in sick for two weeks, spending "every minute making love".
Cheryl's next bloke was furniture salesman Jason Mack, who she is believed to have dated for 18 months from to , before she was chosen to be in Girls Aloud. Jason, who was 27 at the time, admits that he put his younger girlfriend "through hell" due to his crippling drug addictions. However, he said the star would sit with him "for hours" trying to talk him out of buying drugs. Generous Cheryl would also save up her waitress wages to buy Jason expensive designer menswear - and in return he got a she-devil tattoo with the word "Chez" - his nickname for her - underneath.
Cheryl later revealed her song Craziest Things, from 's A Million Lights was about her relationship with Jason, saying: "We swore, we fought, we did everything it says in that song. After splitting with Jason, Cheryl was catapulted into the limelight when she auditioned for Popstars: The Rivals.

One of Cheryl's best-known romances is her four-year marriage to former Chelsea ace Ashley Cole, but before him she had a brief fling with former West Ham player Kieron Dyer. In his autobiography, Old Too Soon, Smart Too Late, he says he dated the singer six months before she began a relationship with Ashley Cole in early Midfielder Kieron said he took Cheryl to the cinema on their first date after they "hit it off straight away".
