Cheryl Cole is not dating personal trainer

Cheryl Cole has shattered rumours which said she is dating a South African personal trainer.

The idea was launched that she flew to meet up with personal trainer Steve Uria. This gossip circulated yesterday. But today she used her Instagram page to set things straight once and for all.

"Seeing a lot of fabricated stories on this... One a great friend the other a married man.. Do they look alike to you ??' she asked in a caption accompanying two photographs of her with a man thought to be Steve. "I mean these ppl are nuts ! @joelcompass last week.. Who's next? Roll up, roll up!.. To the fictional writers #shouldvegonetospecsavers #thatisall. Have a nice day peeps".

According to British magazine New! the X-Factor judge was seeking a property near the sea. "Cheryl has hired an exclusive property finder to look for a romantic bolt hole on one of the scheduled beaches," a source told the publication. "Price is no problem. She adores it there".

Cheryl was married to England footballer Ashley Cole from 2006 to 2010, but divorced after he cheated on her. More recently was involved with professional dancer Derek Hough and backing dancer Tre Holloway, but their courtship ended last year.

Cheryl is now focusing all her efforts on her return to the British version of the X-Factor. It was announced last month that Cheryl would rejoin the judging panel after originally leaving in 2010.
