Pop singer Cheryl Cole left hospital earlier today, the Daily Mail has learned.

The star, who was rushed to hospital 11 days ago after being struck down with malaria, has now returned to her home in Hurtmore, Surrey.

The star, 27, will continue her recovery at her £6 million six-bedroomed former marital home.

A close friend of the star revealed: ‘Cheryl’s at home now. She left the clinic early today.’

The star was rushed to hospital on July 4 after being struck down with infection disease malaria.

She was then quickly transferred to the Hospital For Tropical Diseases specialist unit at University College Hospital in central London as her condition worsened dramatically.

However, as her condition improved she was transferred back to a private clinic in London six days ago.

And on Tuesday evening, X Factor Svengali Simon Cowell – while admitting he had not been able to see her – had laid the ground for her discharge from hospital by telling the Mail: ‘She will be out within the next day or two.’

Mrs Cole has already pulled out of her role in the boot camp section of the X Factor, which is due to start next week.

Her planned performances at the V Festival in Chelmsford and Stafford on August 21 and 22 have also been axed.

And the timing of the release of her second album – which had been due in October – remains under pressure.
