Alexandra Burke has revealed that she often enjoys "girlie nights in" with her former X Factor mentor Cheryl Cole.

The 21-year-old confessed that she is a regular visitor to Cole's Surrey home, where they enjoy food and wine together.

Burke told the Daily Star: "We stay at her house for girlie nights in and always, always have spaghetti bolognese washed down with a few glasses of wine."

Cole is currently in the middle of a divorce from husband Ashley following allegations that he had cheated on her with a number of women.

Speaking about how the star is coping, Burke added: "Cheryl really is okay. She proved that by winning the Glamour 'Woman Of The Year' award last week. It couldn't have gone to a better person. I just gave her a huge hug."

Cole is thought to currently be on holiday with dancer Derek Hough.
