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."

Cheryl has gone from chav to fab...
