X Factor judge Cheryl Cole spent £65,000 on her live solo performance on the show, a report has claimed.
Sources told a tabloid newspaper that the Girls Aloud star had "splashed out" on the debut performance of her hit song `Fight For This Love'.
Cheryl allegedly decided to spend the money on additional dancers, costumes and special effects for the performance.
The investment seems to have been a smart move, as the single and album '3 Words' have gone to the top of the charts.
An X Factor insider told the Daily Mirror that it was common practice for the guest acts to pay for additional dancers and lightining.
The source explained: "The performers have to pay their own production costs and it can be a small fortune."
The insider claimed that the live performances by former winner Alexandra Burke and Whitney Houston also cost around £60,000.
Rock band Bon Jovi are believed to have staged the cheapest performance of the current series. Their performance during Rock Week last Sunday allegedly cost just £30,000.
