Friends worry over Cheryl's weight loss

Friends of Cheryl Cole have begged the singer to eat more after becoming concerned that she has lost too much weight.

The Girls Aloud star has reportedly been skipping meals due to the stress caused by her recent marriage troubles.

A source told The Mirror: "Cheryl's closest friends are urging her to eat. She looks painfully thin and her appetite seems to have disappeared."

Cheryl has forgiven her husband Ashley for cheating on her with single mum Aimee Walton. However, it is believed that she has introduced a number of strict new rules to ensure that the Chelsea footballer does not stray again.

The insider revealed: "He barely goes out. After training it's straight home to Cheryl. He is not even taking calls from his closest teammates and other pals so he can focus on Cheryl and prove he is sorry."
