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 gave a clear indication she’s on the road to recovery as she was pictured yesterday for the first time since contracting malaria.

Wearing not a scrap of make-up with her hair hanging loose, the 27-year-old smiled at photographers as she picked up a coffee from her local Starbucks in Surrey.

Wearing jeans, an off-the-shoulder white jumper and lace vest, the fresh-faced singer looked thrilled to be out in the fresh air again following nearly a month in bed.

Looking noticeably fuller in the face and a healthier size compared to her increasingly skinny frame in recent months, it appeared Mrs Cole has been enjoying home-cooked meals from her mother Joan Callaghan, who has been assisting her daughter’s recovery.

Clearly in a sociable mood after so many weeks recuperating, the star was more than happy to chat to fans and pose for photographs in the coffee shop.

Mrs Cole left hospital two weeks ago to recuperate at her Surrey mansion, which she used to share with estranged footballer husband Ashley.
