The Sun reports the X Factor judge, who is being looked after at the home she once shared with estranged hubby Ashley Cole by her mum Joan, pal Derek Hough and a private nurse is drinking hot water with honey, cinnamon and lemon to try and repair her vocal cords, ahead of her return to the stage.

A source told the tabloid: "Doctors have told her that it will come back, but she's full of worry,"

Chezza's X Factor boss Simon Cowell revealed earlier this week that the 27-year old star is bored and looking forward to returning to work after being hit with the tropical illness.

Meanwhile, Cheryl's rumoured beau Derek has been described as a 'guardian angel' by his childhood friend, Mark Ballas.

Speaking to heat magazine Hough's pal claimed: "He's helping Cheryl through a rough patch - he's very caring like that…Derek is really compassionate."

Mark added that he is 'delighted' Hough is seeing the Parachute hit maker, especially from a professional perspective as well as for his personal life.

He stated: "It's been great for Derek because he's been able to show off his brilliant skills as a choreographer and work with her and the Black Eyed Peas."

Ballas continued: "What Cheryl has accomplished is also awesome - it's great for him to be a part of that."
