According to The Sun today, Cheryl Cole is refusing to see her Girls Aloud band mates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts while she’s in hospital.

It seems that Cheryl will only see her mum Joan and close friend, Derek Hough.

The paper quotes a source as saying, “Cheryl doesn’t want people to see her as she is.”

The article also states that Cheryl has “put on hold” plans for finalising her divorce from Ashley as she’s too unwell to meet with lawyers.

However, the source said to be close to Cheryl asserted that she’s on the mend and is glad to be in a private room, so she can “get some privacy.”

The source added, “She is still extremely frail and drifting in and out of sleep, but she has shown great signs of improvement.”

Doctors have reportedly told Cheryl that she’s likely to remain in hospital until the end of the month.

Simon Cowell is quoted in the paper as saying, “I had a text from her yesterday. She is on the mend and looking forward to coming back.

“She is making a good recovery.”
