CHERYL Cole, pictured, wants to date a man with a "pot belly".

The Fight for This Love singer, who separated from her soccer player husband Ashley Cole last month after his alleged infidelities, has vowed she will never be romantically involved with a toned, muscular man again and wants her next lover to be a normal guy with a rounded stomach.

Discussing what type of men catch her eye on the beach, she said: "A guy could be in a Speedo and be ripped to within an inch of his life and I don't think I'd look again. It would have to be the Bermuda shorts and the pot belly."

Following her split from the Chelsea player, the 26-year-old beauty was spotted on an evening out with her backing dancer Derek Hough.

Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am, who produced Cheryl's debut solo album 3, has also spoken out in praise of the pop star and admitted he would move to the UK "if it meant being with her". - Bang
