The famous "X Factor" judge and pop star Cheryl Cole's Instagram account was hacked earlier this week with several satanic images appearing on her account. On Monday morning the fans of Cheryl had witnessed disturbing satanic images including a pentagram and an upside down cross.

As per the Telegraph Cheryl has 2.7 million followers on Instagram, the pop star usually posts glamorous images of herself and probably her friends. The pretty profile of Cheryl has been turned into a nightmare by a group of hackers.

It could either be a group of hackers or a single person but they all went with the name "Cyber Wolf Gang". One of the images was a white upside down cross with a black background that bore the caption "666 f*** Liam Payne".

Liam Payne and Cheryl are believed to be in a relationship, the other image was a pentagram which captioned "Satan 666 b**** that's what we do". The images were removed instantly within few minutes. The incident was awful and horrifying even for the fans of Cheryl and Liam as per Perez Hilton.

Cheryl's fans took to social media stating that the 33 year old star did not deserve this for her kind nature. Cheryl appeared in the news last week due to her divorce with her second husband Jean Bernard Fernandez Versini, the hearing of the divorce was so quick that it lasted only for 14 seconds.

The singer complained that she needed the divorce because of her ex's "unreasonable behavior". She even stated that it lured her into stress and weight loss. There are rumors that it may be her ex-husband who's behind these satanic images on Instagram. Whatever it may be the, pop star did not require such a terrifying experience.

It is still not known exactly who is behind the incident. Hackers have seemed to be taken up with a new interest in celebrity profiles and it appears that celebrities have their freedom with fear.
