Cheryl Cole has revealed that she has been having slightly inappropriate dreams about her gal pal Rihanna.

The former X Factor judge – who will soon be an X Factor judges houses assistant – has always been pretty vocal about her love for the ‘We Found Love’ hitmaker but in a recent interview she confessed that things have went a little bit further than she has previously admitted.

Speaking to Birmingham’s Heart FM Breakfast show last week, the ‘Under The Sun’ hitmaker was asked if she’d ever dreamt about anyone famous. No doubt, the hosts were hoping she’d reveal a dirty dream about Simon Cowell or Will.i.am but she confessed:

“Yeah, Rihanna.”

When asked what she had got up to with Ri-Ri, Cole just chuckled and added:

“We had fun. You know, girly fun.”

In a previous interview, Cole sang Rihanna’s praises, gushing about the star saying:

“You know what I love about Rihanna? I lnow she gets a lot of criticism, too, about what she wears and what she sings about, but she is so free.

“She doesn’t give two f***s. I love that in her. I love that sense of freedom about her. She’s gorgeous and free. A perfect pop star.”

The ‘Only Girl’ singer returned the favour last year in an interview with Galaxy FM. She said:

‘She is awesome, I think she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.’

Cheryl may be dating her backing dancer Tre Holloway right now and we already revealed that she seemed pretty loved up when she chatted about him during her Jonathan Ross interview this week, but it must be nice to know she has options.
