Happy birthday, pet! Cheryl Cole turns 31, we celebrate with her 10 best looks EVER

As one of the X Factor judges it’s safe to say Cheryl Cole is a pretty busy lady at the moment. But in between seeing hopefuls sing their hearts out at various auditions up and down the country, ‘ooh-ing’ and ‘ah-ing’ the entire time, the gorgeous dimpled one found time to celebrate her 31st birthday.

Sharing pics on her Instagram page Chezza showed off her fancy pre-birthday celebrations the night before the big day (which is today, btw). Hanging out in a decadent hotel filled with expensive blooms, Cheryl looked as pleased as punch to be turning the big 3-1. To be fair, if someone filled a posh hotel with red roses and took the time to scatter the petals on the floor all romantic, like, then we’d be grinning, too. Who did all of this soppy stuff for you, Chez, eh? Come on spill…

As well as treading red petals into the carpet Cole also posted a pic of her slicing into a big double-layered Pink cake. Just as an FYI, Cheryl, we really like cake, too…
