Cheryl Cole is said to have hired a private nurse to ensure she makes a full recovery from malaria.

The Girls Aloud singer, who returned to her Surrey mansion last week after being treated for the illness at a private clinic in London has reportedly enlisted the help of a nurse to look after her before she goes back to work.

A source told The Sun: "It's important now she's out of hospital her condition doesn't get worse again,"

They added: "The nurse will be on call 24 hours a day to make sure Cheryl gets everything she needs."

As we previously reported, Chezza's drastic weight loss has prolonged her recovery from the mosquito-carried illness and now insiders claim that the X Factor judge has been put on a junk food weight gain diet after she withered down to a worrying six stone.

The Daily Star reports that the Fight For This Love singer is being fed fatty foods by her mum Joan Callaghan and suspected beau Derek Hough in a desperate bid to bring back the Geordie's famous curves.

A pal claimed to the newspaper: "She is petrified of going back downhill. She is eating filling food and wants to make sure her medication is working."

“She’s been asking for hotdogs and her mum has a saying: ‘Whatever Cheryl asks for, Cheryl gets.’ ”

Cheryl's home, in which she used to share with love-rat hubby Ashley Cole has been swamped with flowers from her celeb friends since she was struck with the tropical disease, including bouquets from Simon Cowell and GA members Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts.

Black Eyed Peas front man Will.I.Am is also rumoured to have sent Chezza flowers after the Meet Me Halfway rapper was said to be dying to visit the poorly star.

A source revealed: “It looks like a funeral parlour but Cheryl loves them. She’s touched...She’s weak and thin but on the mend.”

After pulling out from X Factor boot camp, Chezza has been replaced on the panel by former guest judge Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger ahead of the 3 Words hit maker's supposed return in August.
