The nation’s favourite WAG turned 26 on Tuesday, so this birthday wish is a little belated!

Cheryl Cole celebrated her Birthday working (if you can call it that) on The X Factor.

The singer was surprised with a bouquet of flowers, balloon and cake shaped like a dog from her hubby during the auditions.

Cheryl threw a big birthday bash at the Fitzrovia club in London last night to celebrate.

The star was joined by many guests including her Girls Aloud pals, fellow judges and last year’s X Factor finalists Alexandra Burke and Diana Vickers to name a few.

The WAG looked gorgeous in a beautiful, (if not a little daring) see through Alexander McQueen dress reported to be worth £4,000.

And the smile on Cheryl Cole’s face could not be wavered all day, must be pretty cushty to be her right now!!

It has been reported that Cheryl Cole spends rather a lot on her appearance, £100,000 to be exact.

I always knew Cheryl’s pristine appearance had to come at a price, no one looks this good without a little help.

So what is Cheryl spending her hard earned money on…

Well firstly there’s those trademark hair extensions that set her back £9,000 a year. Then there’s the £14,000 for her personal trainer to keep her in shape (shouldn’t Ashley be able to do that?!)

But it doesn’t stop there, Cheryl also pays a stylist £30,000 a year to maintain her fashion icon status and £12,000 a year on a dietician.

Wowsa!! And that’s without the cost of all her cosmetics, false eyelashes and tanning products.

it’s true what they say beauty really does come at a price and a very expensive one at that!

It has been reported that Cheryl Cole’s all-in-one swimsuit set her back £375…Wowsa!

Since my new bikinis come from Primark you won’t mind me being a little taken a back by Cheryl’s latest purchase.

The WAG has been papped sunning herself in the South of France with hubby Ashley Cole wearing the rather stunning one-piece.

The suit is from the Odabash’s swimwear collection, is lime green and has silver mirrors embellished on it. There’s no denying the costume is gorgeous, but worth £375, we’re not so sure!

Cheryl Cole is also showing off some pretty impressive abs whilst on holiday, but still pretty tiny…Damn, oh well back to the gym it is!

Meanwhile Coleen Rooney has been showing off her bloomin bikini body in Barbados this week… All I can say is she’s a braver lady than I am.
