Cheryl Cole's dancer pal Derek Hough is reported to be nursing the singer back to health after her recent battle with malaria.

The 3 Words star has invited Derek to stay at her Surrey mansion while he looks for his won home in London. We're pretty sure Ashley's not going to be too pleased about this...

According to the Sun, Derek is planning to meet with West End show producers and TV executives during his stay.

A source told the newspaper: "Derek has been flooded with offers to work in the UK. Cheryl is thrilled for him and glad that all the interest means he will be spending a lot more time on these shores.

"She's more than happy to have him move in. She is on her way back to full strength now and is looking forward to having a pal round to keep her company.

"Derek is looking for somewhere of his own in West London. But before he finds a new home, he's glad to shack up with Cheryl."
