The Sun newspaper has reported that Cheryl Cole has been advised to take up Pilates in the wake of her recent health scare.

Cheryl, who is reported to have been following a strict diet was felt by doctors to be too thin to fight the Malaria infection which she is thought to have picked up on a recent trip to Tanzania.

We all wish her a speedy recovery and hope that Pilates helps her as it has helped us to maintain our fitness levels.
