Cheryl Cole has returned to the studio for the first time since her battle with malaria.

The Girls Aloud singer worked until 8pm on Monday at an LA sound stage.

Cheryl, 27, then went back yesterday to continue recording her second album.

‘She booked the studio for a week, though she’ll see how many days she can manage,’ a source tells the Daily Star. ‘But she is not the sort of person to lie in bed waiting to get better…

‘Cheryl is really geared towards making it in the US and feels well enough to push on.’

Cheryl is on holiday in the States with rumoured boyfriend Derek Hough, 25.

Cheryl Cole is planning to relocate to Los Angeles after realising that she wants to be with Derek Hough, according to reports. The Girls Aloud singer is currently enjoying a holiday with Derek in California as she continues her recovery from a life-threatening bout of malaria.

And she is enjoying her time with the Dancing With The Stars winner so much that she is willing to move to the US permanently to be close to him once the new series of The X Factor is over.

A source told the News of the World “Cheryl has been having an absolute blast in LA. She and Derek are getting on really well and she’s feeling like a completely new woman.

“She has been beaming and everyone has noticed it. She’s confident and bubbly and hasn’t been down at all, even though her divorce is so close to being finalised.”

According to the Daily Star Sunday, Cheryl is so happy with life in Los Angeles that she has told Simon Cowell she wants to film her judges’ houses section of The X Factor there before flying home for the live shows.

Cheryl is also confident her new man can help to secure success for one of her competitors on the new series of the talent show.

A friend explained: “Cheryl thinks that having dancer and choreographer Derek on board will boost her chances of winning.

“She can help with their singing and he can teach them some moves.”

Cheryl Cole showed once and for all she is definitely on the road to recovery yesterday, as she left her hotel to go shopping with friend Derek Hough.

The 27-year-old couldn’t stop smiling as she indulged in some retail therapy wearing an all American girl outfit of a trendy checked shirt, tiny pair of shorts and high tan sandals.

And it wasn’t just window shopping the Girls Aloud star enjoyed – she picked up two pairs of £180 Nike Air Max trainers during her day out at The Grove, apparently to help her on her quest to be fit and healthy as she recovers from malaria.

Cheryl also had a look around the Nordstrom and Abercrombe and Fitch stores with Derek, who looked casual in a pale blue shirt and jeans.

It already seems Cheryl’s Los Angeles holiday, which she started last week, is doing her the world of good, as the star looked happy and healthy as she stepped out yesterday.

Cheryl Cole made sure to look her best for Derek Hough during a dinner date in Los Angeles and resorted back to her hair extensions.

The 27-year-old looked a picture of health as the close friends dined at Nobu restaurant in Beverly Hills.

Cheryl was back to her glamorous self with long hair extensions and complemented the look with dangling silver earrings and a black leather jacket.

The X Factor judge and her dancer pal were rumoured to have been joined by Derek’s sister Julianne and her American Idol presenter boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest.

Despite looking fresh faced and radiant though, reports have said that Cheryl’s been complaining of a fever and lethargy during her stay in LA.

A source told the Daily Mail: ‘Cheryl is doing her best to put weight on and relax but she is not finding it easy.

‘She has been feeling particularly unwell since she got to LA and everyone is worried.’

The source continued that she lost 10 pounds while having malaria but is doing her best to eat well and get her figure back.

Hough is allegedly making Cheryl eat three meals a day, which might explain why he treated her to swanky Nobu.

X Factor judge Cheryl Cole is being lined up for a role in the hit US show Desperate Housewives, says a report.

The Geordie singer could soon be chatting to the glamourous wives on Wisteria Lane.

Sources told a Sunday newspaper that Teri Hatcher, who plays Susan in the Channel 4 show, has asked show bosses to give a role to Cheryl in the seventh season of the drama.

Hatcher told the News of the World: “Cheryl is a great role model and exactly the sort of woman we would love to have a role on Desperate Housewives. Season seven is going to be a really great series and if she is fit enough I think it would be great to have her in a guest role for two or three episodes.

“With her looks she could cause some real trouble in Wisteria Lane.

“I am sure she would raise a few eyebrows from the residents there but in real life I hear she is an absolute darling and I think we would all get on so well.”

She added: “Cheryl is a really sweet, cute looking girl, so I think it would be really fun for her to play real trouble. Playing the bitch is always more fun I find.”

Cheryl Cole is being lined up for a sizzling new double act with dancer pal Derek Hough on US TV’s Dancing with the Stars.

The singer’s team has been informally approached by ABC network bosses who believe Cheryl and Derek would make an explosive duo.

They were keen to sign her up for the autumn series of the show but such a commitment would clash with her work on X Factor.

So instead they’ve sounded out her representatives about starring as one of the celebrity dancers in the series starting in March 2011 with the final in May.

A source said: “Her US team think it will be a great move for her and increase her profile stateside. Partnering her with Derek too would be a masterstroke and they want her to give it serious thought.

“Derek danced with Cheryl on her recent tour and enjoyed a sultry ballroom dance in her Parachute video so the chemistry is certainly right.”

Cheryl recently returned from a romantic holiday in Tanzania with Derek, 25, and is now taking part in X Factor auditions.

The source added: “This is just the sort of vehicle to propel Cheryl into the bigtime Stateside. Derek thinks she’ll be great.”

It has been reported that Cheryl Cole has signed a record deal in the US under Black Eyed Peas star, Will.i.am’s label.

Cheryl and Will worked together on her debut album, 3 Words and have made no secret of the fact they’d like to continue working with one another.

Will told the Big Issue: “[Cheryl's] dope, I like collaborating with her. We’ve talked about working on her next album, plus we signed her to the label in America.

“We’re figuring out how we go about it in the States. It has to be something really incredible done in a different way.”

But if you’re hoping there is something more than friendship between the pair you’re going to be disappointed as Will addressed the rumours that he wants to sleep with the singer…

“I heard that, it’s so not true. Cheryl is a lovely girl. We’ve had the best time on tour, hanging out after the show and partying.”
