Cheryl Cole is to give online dating a go as she strives to find her Mr Right.

The singer and former X Factor judge – who was previously married to Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole – is said to be keen on trying out the pastime in an effort to hook up with someone.

A source told the Sun: "Cheryl's pals are urging her to go for it. She wasn't sure at first, but now thinks, 'What have I got to lose?'."

Apparently Cole will use an alias to make sure she attracts individuals who are genuinely looking for a long-term commitment.

It also means people will have the chance to get to know her as an individual first.

She is not the first famous person to turn to the web in search of true love, as fellow musician Sinead O'Connor and TV presenter Jeff Brazier have both recently spoke about their experiences online.
