Will.i.am has reportedly been quizzing Cheryl Cole on her X Factor experience in order to help him on The Voice UK. According to The Sun, the pair have met over dinner in order to discuss both shows.

A source told the tabloid: “They’ve met for dinner and hung out. He’s been quizzing her on her experience on UK TV.” Will.i.aim joined X Factor rival The Voice earlier this year, and will be judging the show alongside the likes of Tom Jones and Jessie.

The series starts on BBC One this Spring, going head to head with Simon Cowell’s other TV talent show Britain’s Got Talent.

It’s been a while since Cheryl Cole and Will.i.am have out and about together, but the best buds have been spotted catching up on cosy dinner dates in recent weeks, after the rapper arrived in town for his stint on The Voice.

The Black Eyed Peas star is getting ready to join the team on the brand new singing show which launches in the UK this spring, alongside other panellists Jessie J, Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue.

And he’s been getting the lowdown on what to expect from working on British TV, from the former X Factor judge. "They've met for dinner and hung out. He's been quizzing her on her experience on UK TV,” a source told The Sun.

But it seems that Will.i.am isn’t just concerned about making sure his own TV career goes without a hitch – he’s also been planning BFF Cheryl’s return to the small screen. Will.i.am, who is also Cheryl’s manager, revealed that he’s on the lookout for the perfect show for Cole to front, following her axe from X Factor USA - just days after Simon Cowell admitted he’d love to see the star return to the singing show.

He told the Mirror: “Cheryl won’t do X Factor. Why does she need it?

“Why are you going to make someone else rich? Cheryl needs her own show.”Will added: “Cheryl Cole was current on X Factor [USA]. She was the only one on the panel with musical experience of what it feels like to go through that process.

“That’s how she made it into the industry, by doing Popstars. Paula Abdul was an artist – but she wasn’t current at the time.”Will.i.am isn’t the only person to think Cheryl should front her own show though – according to reports at the start of January this year, TV bosses are desperate to sign the star up to front a magazine show provisionally titled Late Night With Cheryl.

A source told Star magazine: “They know she’ll be a massive ratings winner and is the perfect fit to pull in amazing guests.”Simon and Cheryl are also said to be working on plans for a brand new talent show – but we’re not sure Will.i.am will be too happy about that…

With her new album set for release in March and a burgeoning film career on the horizon following a cameo in What To Expect When You’re Expecting, it looks like Miss Cole is in for a very busy 2012!

Cheryl Cole is reportedly planning to wipe away the last trace of her marriage to footballer Ashley Cole, by getting her famous "Mrs C" tattoo removed. The Fight For This Love singer, who got the tattoo several years ago to celebrate their partnership, is said to be keen to remove the inking or have it reworked into a new design.

Clearly visible on the back of the singer’s neck, it seems Cheryl no longer wants a constant reminder of her failed relationship. According to the Daily Star, Cheryl – who divorced Ashley in 2010 following various rumours of his alleged infidelity – has been planning to get rid of the tattoo for some time, but is now finally ready to take action.

"Cheryl has been thinking about getting the tattoo lasered or altered for years but she's told friends she's now ready to actually do it," an insider is quoted telling the paper. "There's no chance of her getting back with Ashley and she no longer wants the reminder of his cheating ways on her skin."

The source added: "She's been looking at ideas and now just needs to decide whether to get it removed or reworked."Since their split, both Ashley and Cheryl have been linked to various new partners, but neither has settled down long-term again. Cheryl - who is rumoured to be all set to launch her very own magazine-style talk show, as well as work on a new talent show with Simon Cowell – is believed to be currently dating record producer Patrizio Pigliapoco.

The Girls Aloud singer has decided not to revert to her maiden name Tweedy, as she fears it would damage her brand. However, she is keen to lose another symbol of her marriage and has reportedly included ditching the neck tattoo on her list of new year resolutions. Although she is apparently certain it has to go, Cheryl still has to make a choice between laser removal and having the ink redesigned.

'There's no chance of her getting back with Ashley and she no longer wants the reminder of his cheating ways on her skin,' a source told the Daily Star Sunday. 'She's been looking at ideas and now just needs to decide whether to get it removed or reworked.' Cheryl had previously said she was happy to keep the tattoo, despite an acrimonious break-up after allegations Ashley had cheated on her. Speaking a few weeks after her divorce was finalised, she told the Guardian: 'I'm not ashamed of anything. I've got nothing to rub away.'

Music mogul Simon Cowell is reportedly planning to rope in singer Cheryl Cole to host a new pop show. "He's talking about bringing back a classic chart show and he thinks that because Cheryl is slap bang in the middle of the pop market, she'd be a great host," said an insider.

"When Simon gets back to London later this month he's hoping they will hammer out a deal. Whatever happens, there won't be a dull moment," the insider added. Cheryl and Simon's friendship went sour after he axed the singer from the US 'The X Factor' last year, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Another source told Reveal magazine: "The horrible fall-out between the two of them was probably the best thing that could have happened to Cheryl. It forced her to stand up for herself and see Simon for the hard-nosed businessman he is.

"That was a harsh lesson, but she won't make the same mistake twice. Cheryl knows she's in the driving seat. "So now the plan is to put together a new format for Cheryl, and Simon plans to wave a blank cheque in front of her to make sure she won't be able to turn him down."

Cheryl Cole, who has failed to sever ties with ex-husband Ashley, is reportedly talking to him everyday in a bid to rekindle their romance. While the footballer cheated on her at least four times during their four-year marriage, the 28-year-old singer is said to be asking him prove I can trust you again.

“They’re talking or texting every day,” the Daily mail quoted a source as telling Closer. “She usually texts him first thing in the morning and they’ll normally call each other during the day. She saw him just before Christmas and they''re making plans for a weekend break together in February,” the source said.

It is believed that the axed The X Factor judge is determined to keep their potential reconciliation a secret to prevent further humiliation. Last year, the Girls Aloud star invited the Chelsea ace to her birthday celebrations at London’s luxury five star The Sanderson Hotel where they were spied cosying up together after the 31-year-old sneaked in.

However, just two weeks later, another string of girls came forward saying they had slept with him during his attempts to win back his estranged wife. According to the insider, she felt vulnerable after being sacked from The X Factor USA and found comfort in her ex-husband.

“Her career has reached a crossroads. “''She let Ashley get close to her again she’s always said he’s the only one who understands her,” the source said. Closer also reported that the source said she is imposing a sex ban. “She’s told Ashley he must survive six months, until her birthday on June 30, without dating or bedding other girls if she’s ever to trust him again,” the source added.

Simon Cowell is lining up Cheryl Cole to host a new pop show. The 52-year-old music mogul - who sensationally axed the Girls Aloud singer from the US 'X Factor' last year - is reportedly keen for the brunette beauty to front a brand new music programme after she launches her solo comeback in March.

An insider said: "He's talking about bringing back a classic chart show and he thinks that because Cheryl is slap bang in the middle of the pop market, she'd be a great host. "When Simon gets back to London later this month he's hoping they will hammer out a deal. Whatever happens, there won't be a dull moment."

However, after seeing the harsh side of Simon when she was sacked from the 'X Factor' panel, Cheryl has reportedly vowed to never "make the same mistake" again and in order to get back in her good books, the 'Britain's Got Talent' boss plans to tempt the singer with a "blank cheque".

The source told Reveal magazine: "The horrible fall-out between the two of them was probably the best thing that could have happened to Cheryl. It forced her to stand up for herself and see Simon for the hard-nosed businessman he is.

"That was a harsh lesson, but she won't make the same mistake twice. Cheryl knows she's in the driving seat. "So now the plan is to put together a new format for Cheryl, and Simon plans to wave a blank cheque in front of her to make sure she won't be able to turn him down."
