The X Factor star embarks on an all-new diet after 'pigging out' over Christmas
It seems that X Factor superstar Cheryl Cole has had a Christmas just like the rest of us, and is kicking off 2010 with a brand new diet.
'Cheryl agreed to pig out as much as anyone else over Christmas,' said an insider.
'She knew she would put on weight over Christmas and she promised not to calorie count.'
So after her excesses over the festive season, the practically perfect Mrs Cole has chosen the Leptin Diet to help her lose those extra pounds.
This celeb-friendly pound shifting eating plan involves eating three small meals a day, and leaving a gap of at least 5 hours between meals.
After a quiet Christmas, it's rumoured the famous Mrs C is planning to whiz mum Joan off for some relaxing time at a health spa, leaving husband Ashley at home to face a fine and possible driving ban for speeding.
‘They just need to decide whether they feel like jumping on a plane or getting a driver to take them somewhere in this country,' a source said.
