Cole to go on New Year weight gain diet?

Cheryl Cole will reportedly go on a diet in the New Year in an attempt to put on weight.

The Girls Aloud star is said to be hoping to gain half a stone after becoming alarmed with how thin she looked during the X Factor final.

A source told Reveal: "Cheryl was watching the show and she thought she looked terrible - too unhealthy. She's a size 6-8 and she wants to get to a size 8-10, but she doesn't want to eat junk to put it on, she wants to do it as healthily as possible."

To help reach her intended weight, the singer is reportedly "hiring a dietician and she's going to be eating lots of carbs such as wholemeal bread, rice and potatoes".
