Cheryl Cole 'not working with Chris Brown'

Cheryl Cole has "no plans" to record a duet with R&B star Chris Brown, according to a report.

The Girls Aloud singer sparked rumours that she had decided to collaborate with Brown when they were spotted together at a recording studio in Los Angeles recently.

It is believed that their meeting came as Cole worked on her debut solo album with Black Eyed Peas rapper will.i.am.

An insider told The Mirror: "Chris was in the same studio as Cheryl and he knows Will, so they all met.

"Cheryl is working flat out with Will to perfect her debut album. She has also drafted in Soulshock and Karlin. But there are no plans to duet with Chris."

Earlier this week, Brown issued a public apology for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in February.
