Cheryl moves to LA to be near her dancer

She is on the brink of making a fresh start in America following a tumultuous year.

But to ensure she can really put the past behind her, Cheryl Cole is moving out of the £6million Surrey mansion she shared with her former husband Ashley Cole.

The plan is to move to the States to be nearer to her increasingly close friend, dancer Derek Hough.

His family have claimed the pair are ‘in love’ but Miss Cole has repeatedly refused to discuss their friendship.

Despite rumours that Miss Cole, 27, planned to sell the property in Hurtmore, Surrey, her ex-husband is, in fact, to move back in.
