Cheryl Cole is a ‘hopeless romantic’

Cheryl Cole admits she is a “hopeless romantic”, and small gestures such as running a bath are what turns her on in a man.

The Girls Aloud singer is dating backing dancer Tre Holloway, and doesn’t mind if he doesn’t buy expensive gifts for her, as it is the thought that counts.

She said: “For me romance is literally thought. It doesn’t matter what the gesture is, whether it’s a very luxurious piece of jewellery or clothing, or whether somebody has just thought about making you a card or running you a bath and lighting you some candles.

“It’s the thought that I find to be romantic. And I’m a hopeless romantic, so anyone who thinks like that is on good stead.”

Cheryl’s band mates – Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh – also weighed in with some of their most romantic experiences.

Speaking in a video for their tour sponsors, Pandora, Nadine said: “The most romantic Valentine’s Day that I’ve had in a while was when me and a boyfriend were on an airplane and the hostesses saw we were a couple so literally set out a table for us, poured us champagne and created a Valentine’s Day dinner 30,000 feet high.”

Kimberley said her partner, Justin Scott, went to great lengths to present a romantic trip to Italy to her.

Nicola’s most romantic gift were two puppies, a gesture which made her “whole heart melt on the floor”.

Sarah was also impressed by a boyfriend who put a great deal of thought rather than money into a romantic meal for her.BANG!
