Will.i.am praises "hot" Cheryl Cole

Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am has revealed that he has a crush on Cheryl Cole after teaming up with her on his latest solo track.

Cole provides backing vocals for the single 'Heartbreaker' and is seen sporting a number of skimpy outfits in the track's music video.

"Nelly Furtado is hot but Cheryl is hotter," will.i.am explained in an interview with GMTV. "If you measured it on a scale of hot to 10. Cheryl is a 10. She is hot."

Recent reports have revealed that Cheryl's marriage to footballer Ashley Cole is back on track. Their relationship hit the rocks in January after Ashley's one-night stand with single mum Aimee Walton was exposed in the press.
