Cheryl Cole now wants the sex factor

London (ANI): X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has told pals that now that she"s finally over love rat hubby Ashley, she"s 'gagging for it".

"Cheryl has had the dancers on tour in hysterics telling them in her broad Geordie accent that she's 'gagging for it'. Sex was the last thing on her mind when she was coming to terms with her relationship ending. But now she's over it, she wants a smile back on her face," The Sun quoted a source as saying.

The singer, who is on a tour with the Black Eyed Peas, has no dearth of admirers - Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am, boxing champ Amir Khan, JLS singer Aston Merrygold and American dance star Derek Hough – they all have a soft corner for her. The star, however, claims that will.i.am is 'like a brother to her".
