Cheryl's curves: How American way of life is giving Miss Cole a fuller figure

Healthy: Miss Cole looks tanned and curvier but she has already lined up a punishing fitness schedule with Gwyneth Paltrow's trainer to lose weight


Her weight plummeted to around six stone following her battle with malaria last year.

But it seems that the American way of life has helped Cheryl Cole get her curves back.

The 27-year-old singer looked healthy and fuller-figured as she arrived at the airport in Chicago on Saturday after filming the latest round of auditions for the U.S. version of X Factor.

She showed off her tanned legs in navy shorts, which she teamed with a white vest, patterned blazer, flat cap and sunglasses.

But there are signs Miss Cole's newfound curves may not stick around for long, as she has already embarked on an exhaustive fitness regime with the help of Gwyneth Paltrow's personal trainer.

TV bosses are said to be keen for a style consultant to create a new image for Miss Cole and help make her a U.S. household name.

As part of their plan to transform her, they have sent her to personal trainer Tracy Anderson, whose A-list clients have also included Madonna and Jennifer Aniston.


Success: Paula Abdul has been applauded for her outfit choices on the programme so far and Miss Cole could use a stylist to ensure she isn't outshone


But Miss Cole may also need some help in the fashion stakes after being criticised for her choice of outfits on the show so far, while fellow judge Paula Abdul, 48, has won plaudits.

Although the Girls Aloud star has secured a £1.2million-a-year contract to appear on the U.S. X Factor panel, producers have included a get-out clause so they can drop her after the first series if she fails to win over viewers.

There have already been concerns that her Geordie accent could prove baffling to an American audience.
