It was reported earlier in the year she was set to land her own radio show after being ‘inundated with offers’ from several stations.
And Cheryl, 38, announced on Instagram on Friday she has inked a deal with BBC Sounds to present a show titled You, Me & R&B in a rare post to Instagram.
The podcast will see the singer relive her teen years in Newcastle where she discovered her love of the music genre along with artists such as TLC and Beyoncé.

She made sure to showcase her signature tribal hand tattoo, which she rested her flawlessly-applied face of makeup upon.
Cheryl delighted fans by sharing a link to the show’s very first episode as she begins to make her comeback to the showbiz scene after a lengthy hiatus.
It comes after an industry source told The Sun in February: ‘Cheryl has been inundated with several offers to do a radio show and Global are very eager.
‘It would be an exciting new step for her in her career… Global are super keen to sign her and know she would add real star quality.’

But another source told the publication that although Cheryl has been approached by several places, if something happens ‘it might not be with them [Global]’.
The Girls Aloud singer already has lots of hosting experience from her work on The X Factor and The Greatest Dancer.
Cheryl left the X Factor in 2016. She first took part back in 2008 and has mentored two winners, Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry.
The Brit Award nominee shares four-year-old son Bear with her One Direction ex Liam Payne, 27, and is notoriously private about her personal life, having taken multiple breaks away from the spotlight over the past decade.
