Cole: 'My dog steals my underwear'

Cheryl Cole has revealed that her pet dog steals her knickers and hides them in the back garden.

The Girls Aloud star told The Sun that she was puzzled by the disappearance of her underwear, but the mystery was solved when she spotted Chihuahua Buster with a thong in his mouth.

She said: "My dog digs holes and puts my knickers in the ground - but then I shouldn't be telling you that. It's disgusting, I have no idea why he would do that."

Cole added that her busy X Factor schedule has prevented her from training for her Comic Relief Mount Kilimanjaro climb.

"I don't know when I'll find the time to train but I better start," she confessed. "The altitude training is the killer."
