Derek Hough Moving In With Cheryl Cole As Singer Recovers From Malaria

Cheryl Cole’s new best friend (or new boyfriend, depending on who’s telling the story) dancer Derek Hough is reportedly set to move into the English sweetheart’s Surrey mansion, sparking more speculation that the two are an item.

The Dancing With The Stars alum, 25, plans to relocate to Britain next month for the rest of the year and will become housemate to Cheryl as he tries to set up meetings with West End show and TV producers. The Girls Aloud hitmaker is recovering from a violent bout with malaria that she reportedly caught while on vacation with Hough.

“Derek has been flooded with offers to work in the UK. Cheryl is thrilled for him and glad that all the interest means he will be spending a lot more time on these shores,” a tattle told UK’s The Sun this week.

“She’s more than happy to have him move in. She is on her way back to full strength now and is looking forward to having a pal round to keep her company. Derek is looking for somewhere of his own in West London. But before he finds a new home, he’s glad to shack up with Cheryl,” the source added.
