Cheryl Cole jets off on secret ‘romantic holiday’ with Derek Hough

Derek Hough is said to have surprised Cheryl Cole by whisking her off to Tanzania for a dream romantic holiday.

“It was a complete surprise for Cheryl and she couldn’t believe he had gone to so much trouble organising it,” the Mirror quoted a source as saying.

“She was told to take her passport and all would be revealed at the airport. She was over the moon at how thoughtful he’d been,” the source added.

Hough’s step dad Aaron Nelson said: “They are going somewhere very exotic, very picturesque and it will be a very nice break for them.

“It will be one of those dream, romantic holidays that you take when you are just starting out on a relationship. Derek is totally in love with that girl and wants to spend as much time as he can with her.

“He’s on a five week break and after a lot of hard work on Dancing With The Stars in America he wanted them to do something special together. They’ve been hanging out in London ever since he finished work but they didn’t want to spend all their time there,” he added.
