Cheryl’s found her soulmate – and this one won’t break her heart
Soz, Kimberley, the singer has got a new BFF
After months of ball changes and perfect pliés, The Greatest Dancer came to an end last week. And while you might think Cheryl is feeling a little disheartened after fellow dance captain Oti Mabuse won for the second year in a row – not to mention the show’s plummeting ratings – she’s got another reason for smiling. We hear that the singer has no regrets about her involvement in the BBC series, which is rumoured to be facing the axe, and there’s one big reason for that – her friendship with co-dance captain Todrick Hall.
“Life has definitely gotten a little more fun for Cheryl since Todrick joined the show,” says an insider close to the 36 year old, who got happily emotional last week as she watched her dance act Lily and Joseph perform for the final time. “Todrick brings out the best in her. They have a great laugh together, and he’s one of the few people who she feels isn’t constantly focused on her past. She’s been able to have really honest conversations with him, and he’s probably the only person that she can really talk to about her career. She doesn’t let her guard down to many people, but she trusts him completely. She’s been telling everyone that he’s her soulmate and that she’d marry him in a heartbeat!”
Cheryl was delighted when US singer and dancer Todrick joined The Greatest Dancer for its second series. They hit it off during filming for the auditions last summer, and she joined him on stage at Manchester Pride in August for an epic performance of his anthem Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels. The pair have been inseparable during this year’s live shows, and Todrick, 34, has spoken of their close friendship, revealing, “Cheryl and I are going to get married – we’re just trying to figure out which one of us is going to wear the dress. I love her so much.”
Meanwhile, it’s not just work chat that keeps these besties busy. According to our source, they’re both supporting each other in their quests to find the perfect man. “Todrick’s the only one who Cheryl can really talk to about men and dating,” we’re told. “He’s also single, so they’ve been having fun together, going on dating sites. He’s trying to encourage her to get back on the dating scene.” Hear that, would-be suitors? Todrick and Cheryl don’t play, they slay. ■
