Cheryl To Call Her Soldier 'This Week'.

Cheryl Cole has revealed that she plans to call the soldier who gave his phone number during her recent trip to visit the troops in Afghanistan.

Chezza made the trip to Camp Bastion last month to film for The Mirror's Pride of Britain Awards, which take place tonight (Monday 03 August) and which will be shown on ITV this Wednesday (05 October).

Speaking to The Mirror, the Parachute star revealed the amount of training she had to put in before her trip, saying:

"Before I went out I was given war training which was pretty full-on and quite scary. They warn you about coping with all kinds of scary scenarios - things like having a gun put to your head."

"I was warned before I went out there that it could be dangerous. But nothing was going to stop me from going. And I'm just so glad I did."

"Afghanistan was an unbelievable experience. The whole trip was incredible. Since I've been back, it's all anyone wants to talk to me about. The reaction has been fantastic. The men and women I met out there were inspirational, and so amazingly brave and dedicated.

"I've stayed in touch with some of the troops through Twitter and they've been sending nice messages. It was a privilege to see what goes on out there."

While she was there she met Royal Marine Andy 'Bagsy' Baker, who slipped her his number after chatting to her following a dare from his mates.

Now Cheryl has promised to give him a call, saying: "I think I'll call him this week and we'll see what happens. I'm sure he's not expecting me to ring but that's why it'll be funny - and that's why I'm going to do it."

We wonder what Ashley makes of all this?
