Cheryl Cole has reportedly begun work on her new album while holidaying in LA.
After being forced to stay at her Surrey mansion for the last few weeks while she recovered from a bout of malaria, Chezza is now enjoying a well-earned break in California.
Despite officially being on holiday with her friend - dancer Derek Hough - Cheryl's taken the opportunity to start work on some new material while she's in the States.
A source told The Sun: "Cheryl couldn't sit around any longer. She feels 100 times better and wants to get some normality back."
"She was going crazy sitting around at home. She wants a change of scenery so has decided to go to Los Angeles and get back into the studio."
"But it's still nowhere near the work schedule she had before she fell ill."
