The stunning S&M singer, said: “Cheryl Cole is hot. I would just like to watch her work.

“Preferably cleaning things on the floor. Picking up stuff on the floor. Bending over.

“She’s hot! I mean, literally — she’s so beautiful.”

Luckily for Rihanna, the feeling is mutual, as Cheryl gushed about the R&B favourite at last year’s Brit awards.

Cheryl took to the stage to present the award for International Female Solo Artist and as she read out the winner, she squealed: “It’s my girl crush Rihanna.”

The lovely ladies enjoyed a warm embrace on stage, and it has clearly had a lasting impact on their friendship.

Earlier this week, Rihanna backed Cheryl for a role on American Idol, amidst rumours producers have been keen to bring the former X Factor judge back to the US.

She told the Daily Star: ”I can completely see why the producers at American Idol are trying to get Cheryl – she would be amazing.”

Rihanna also hit out at Simon Cowell’s decision to fire the pop star from the first series of US X Factor, saying:”She was received so well on the US X Factor and most people couldn’t really understand the decision to let her go.”

She added: ”Since then she has gone from strength to strength, and is fast becoming a movie star over here.

”I don’t know if Jennifer (Lopez) plans to stay another season or not but Cheryl would be a great replacement for her. The only thing Cheryl needs to consider is that it’s so time-consuming.”
