Cheryl Cole pilng on the pounds!

Cheryl Cole, the untalented British woman who’s desperate to crack America, is piling on the pounds!

Sources say the former Girls Aloud singer and UK X Factor judge is so lonely in Los Angeles that she’s been eating junk food for comfort.

“Cheryl used to smoke when she was stressed,” an insider told the UK’s Nowmagazine.

“But she’s been trying 
to quit, so she’s been eating instead.

“As well as ordering rubbish late into the night, she’s also loving Subway sandwiches, which Derek Houghintroduced to her last year.

“Normally she’s very health conscious, but after a tough day she hits the bad stuff. She knows she’s gone up from a size 6 to 8 and put on 5lb but she’s so stressed she has to eat.”
