Cole to buy £5 million Spanish villa

Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole will purchase a £5 million villa in Spain, according to The Sun.

The popstar and her footballer husband Ashley Cole reportedly viewed a home in Puerto Banus on the Costa del Sol while holidaying there last month.

The development, which houses 40 luxury villas, offers a pool, jacuzzi, the latest home entertainment systems and a private gate to the beach.

A source said: "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."
