Cheryl Cole’s matchmaker pals

Cheryl Cole’s matchmaker pals

Cheryl Cole’s friends want to find her an American boyfriend.

Pals of the ‘Parachutes’ singer – who recently split from her soccer
star husband Ashley Cole amid claims he had cheated on her with
several women – are determined to help raise her spirits by not
letting her stay single for long.

Choreographer Brian Friedman – who works with the Girls Aloud beauty
on UK TV talent show ‘The X Factor’ – told the News of the World
newspaper: "She deserves a great guy. Hopefully she'll find him. I
don't know Ashley well. I only see him every once in a while at the
show, but Cheryl's my friend. So I have her back.

"When news came out about me moving her to LA, I've been getting
non-stop contact from top guys in this city asking me to set them up
with Cheryl.

"When - or actually if - she is ever ready to date someone, of course
I will hook her up."

It has also been claimed that dancer Derek Hough – who was pictured
leaving the star’s hotel in the early hours of the morning when she
fled to the US following her marriage split – is determined to win
over Cheryl.

A source said: "He's not used to women saying no to him and plans to
use all his charms to win her round."

Cheryl is said to be seriously considering a move to Los Angeles,
where she can throw herself into work in order to get over her
heartbreak.

Her friend Soulshock - real name Carsen Schack – revealed they chatted
about the move when she appeared on Denmark’s version of TV talent
show ‘The X Factor’, on Friday (05.03.10).

Soulshock – who is a judge on the programme - told the Sunday Mirror
newspaper: "I had a good chat to Cheryl for about an hour before the
show.

"She didn't want to talk about Ashley. She was speaking about LA and
how she really wanted to get back there and start working on new
songs.

"Cheryl is using her work as a real focus at the moment. She's a very
professional artist and there is nothing that will get in her way."
