Cheryl ColeWe thought we'd be seeing a lot more of Cheryl Cole now she's an X Factor judge.

But it seems like she plans to keep herself out of the spotlight.

In fact, out of England altogether.

There's a rumour doing the rounds that she's gone and bought herself a phat Spanish pad to hang out in between filming for the show.

And a little birdie tells us the villa is something to the tune of £5m, and is situated in a super-posh resort near Marbella.

Cheryl and husband Ashley went and had a lookski at the house during their holiday last month to Puerto Banus on the Costa del Sol, where they announced to the world that they were very much back on.

A source told The Sun: "Cheryl loved this development. The residents respect and protect everyone else’s security and privacy.

"She and Ashley felt it would provide the perfect private get-away for the two of them in between their busy schedules.

"She is keen to find a home away from home where they can spend quality time together and feels this is the place.

"She’s going to be bogged down in X Factor for months so wants somewhere where she can get away from it all with Ashley and her mates."

We're keeping an eye on the postbox for an invitation to the housewarming, Chez...
