X Factor judge Cheryl Cole may be used to swanky restaurants but Frankmusik is keen to show her another side to London eateries.

The dance music star is collaborating with Cheryl on her new solo album and told The Daily Star that he plans to take her on a tour of his favourite places in Croydon.

Frankmusik said: “I’ll show Cheryl my favourite kebab shop, the pond which is now being filled with concrete and all the drunk people in the parks.”

He added: “I’ll get everyone to come to my studio in Thornton Heath in Croydon and then have to say hello to my nan first. It really breaks down any barriers that people may have.

“I think that will be enough for any girl. She might want to ditch Ashley after that and move in with me.”

Cheryl, will start working on her debut solo project as soon as she is done touring with Girls Aloud and Frankmusik is keen to keep her true to her pop roots.

He said: “I will absolutely keep with the pop theme.

“I want to see how much of Cheryl’s personality I can bring across through the music. I want it to be honest and not to sound too manufactured.

“Working with songs and grafting them to a point where they are indeniably solid is what I love.”
