X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has admitted that she is partial to a bit of soap action, when she gets some free time at home.

Speaking to Now magazine, she explained: “[I relax by] sitting at home, watching EastEnders and Corrie!

“I have this pair of grey lounge trousers with a satin waistband which are really unattractive, but so comfy. I sit on the sofa in fluffy slippers and a hoody with a nice cup of hot chocolate.”

She continued: “I’m slightly obsessed with hot chocolate! My mother just got me some that has chunks of real chocolate in it. I do that squirty cream thing, too. I’m known for it at The X Factor!”
