Tanzania: Cheryl Cole is in Country on Secret 'Romantic Holiday'
17 June 2010
Dar Es Salaam CHERYL Cole, former wife of Chelsea and England defender Ashley Cole, is reportedly in Tanzania for holidays with male friend Derek Hough, in a Safari that has caused a big stir back home.
The news has also spread like wildfire among on-line buffs in the country, many of them asking the actual destination as the Mail reported the pair as heading to Tanzania for a 'dream romantic' holiday.
One of the several Cheryl and Hough's images accompanying the story show a sandy Zanzibar beach, triggering speculation that the two are headed for the spiced Islands. This is second time Cheryl is visiting Tanzania.
In February last year, Cheryl and buddies Denise Van Outen, Fearne Cotton and Kimberley Walsh visited the country and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in aid of Comic Relief.
Tourism authorities when contacted would not confirm nor deny knowledge of the presence of the high profile artistes, maintaining that the safari would remain as the two have preferred to be private.
Last year, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was in the country for a ten day tour that left many wondering why the authorities failed to grasp the golden opportunity of drawing the globe's media attention here.
"Such personalities are a blessing in disguise and it only needs creative minds to realize the advantages of such visits", one tour operator who begged for anonymity said.
Derek Hough is said to have surprised Cheryl Cole by whisking her off to Tanzania for a dream romantic holiday. The dancer, who has been linked to the X Factor judge in recent months, only told her they were going to Tanzania when they arrived at Heathrow airport.
However, the pair did not put on any show of affection at London's Heathrow on Tuesday night and instead walked determinedly apart. Cheryl then hugged her assistant saying goodbye before boarding a flight with dancing with the stars professional Derek.
Their cosy trip together will do nothing to dampen speculation of a blossoming romance. Since her split from her errant England and Chelsea footballer husband earlier this year, Derek (25), has been a rock for 26-year-old Cheryl.
He performed a sultry ballroom dance with her in her video Parachute and did the same dance with her on stage as she supported the Black Eyed Peas on the European leg of their tour. What's more, Hough's stepfather has revealed that Derek is head over heels for Cheryl.
Speaking from his Los Angeles home, Aaron Nelson (54), told the Daily Mirror: 'They are going somewhere very exotic, very picturesque and it will be a nice break for them. 'It will be one of those dream romantic holidays that you take when you are just starting out on a relationship.
Derek is totally in love with the girl and wants to spend as much time as he can with her.' Hough is said to have picked the east African country after Cheryl told him she fell in love with the country, following her Comic Relief climb up Mount Kilimanjaro last year.
The pair took the 10-hour flight and will spend a short break together before Cheryl returns to Britain for more X Factor auditions next week.
Cheryl dressed in casual faded jeans and a denim jacket, teamed with Louboutin heels as she stalked her way through the airport, while Hough also dressed down in jeans, a T-shirt and trainers. A source added: '(The holiday) was a complete surprise to Cheryl and she couldn't believe he had gone to so much trouble organising it.
