She spoke about her decision to move into acting during an appearance on The One Show on Friday and teased her desire to take on more filming projects.
When asked by hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas if she plans to continue acting, Cheryl hinted that she might like to star in a 'gritty drama' next.

Looking towards any future projects, she added: 'It would have to be something that gives me that same feeling, maybe a drama, something gritty.'
Reflecting on making her acting debut on stage, the Girls Aloud star went on to describe it as being very similar to singing in front of a live audience.
She explained: 'I think all of it is just entertainment, I love being in front of a live audience again rather than just being on screen.
'You feel the audience participation... it's like an energy exchange, which isn't that different from performing a song.'
Cheryl also admitted that joining the cast of 2:22 A Ghost Story has 'exceeded all' her expectations as she gushed about how much she has enjoyed it.
Appearing on the BBC chat show with her co-star Jake Wood, Cheryl also admitted they have previously gotten into trouble for cracking up on stage.
Placing the blame on her co-star, Cheryl said: 'It's him! To be fair, it's a ghost story so people think it's scary, but it's actually really funny in parts.
'When I first started acting with Jake, I wasn't ready for his comedic timing, so I was corpsing... I just burst out laughing on stage in front of the audience... Not my finest moment!'
Cheryl is starring in the play as Jenny, who believes her new home is haunted but her husband Sam remains skeptical.
