    The songstress has enlisted the help of Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna’s trainer

    After landing a place on the US X Factor panel, Cheryl Cole’s been hard at work on her American makeover. Huge glossy hair? Check. Attention-grabbing designer wardrobe? Check. And the latest thing on her list? A celebrity personal trainer.

    Ms Cole has enlisted the help of trainer-to-the-stars Tracy Anderson, according to reports, to help her shape up and stay trim as she launches her career Stateside.

    As Gwyneth Paltrow's much loved personal trainer, the exercise expert has also helped to sculpt the buff bodies of a whole host of tinsel town's finest - including Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Ashley Greene, Nicole Riche and even Jake Gyllenhaal - with her world-renowned Tracy Anderson Method.

    ‘Cheryl works out anyway but she knows that LA celebrities have a completely different health and fitness ethos,’ one insider told the Mirror.

    ‘A few weeks back, Cheryl arranged to take lessons with Tracy after Derek Hough introduced them.

    Earlier this week Cheryl was spied emerging from Ms Anderson’s famous LA gym, and is even rumoured to be following Tracy’s special ‘cleanse’ diet.

    The eating plan reportedly involves eating 14 small portions of pureed food a day, plus one healthy dinner.

    Earlier this year, we caught up with Cheryl's new trainer, who devised an easy-to-follow five-minute workout, specially for Marieclaire.co.uk readers.
