Cheryl Cole is trying to recover from her marriage breakdown, by keeping busy and never being alone.

The X Factor judge flew from LA to Paris yesterday and will visit five countries in as many days as she promotes her album ’3 Words.’

Cole told The Sun: “I travel the whole world and hardly have any time for myself. Secretly I don’t mind this at all, because I hate being on my own.

“I just want to stay busy and keep the energy flowing. I fear I’d go brain-dead if I don’t, so I just have to keep busy – even if it means I have to talk to myself.”

She added: “I get bored to tears. After two weeks off at Christmas I went mental. In the end I had to book a holiday and went to the beach with my mum.”
