Cheryl Cole has allegedly asked pal Gary Barlow to play cupid and find her a fella.

According to Now magazine, Chezza has turned to The X Factor head judge with the hope that Barlow - who has been happily married to wife Dawn for 11 years - can find her a 'nice decent man' following her split from hubby, Ashley Cole.

A source told the publication: "Cheryl sees Gary as a big brother. They climbed Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief in 2009 and have stayed close ever since. They talk at least once a week and she's been instrumental in his X Factor success so far."

"Cheryl's hung out with Gary and Dawn a lot and she's desperate to find that level of companionship for herself. No one knows the industry like Gary and although he's settled with Dawn, he knows how hard it can be to find love if you're famous."

They continued: "He's seen the way a lot of guys operate and has told Cheryl about a few to steer well clear of. But he's also told her there are decent guys out there. She just needs a better vetting process to stop the serial cheats getting through."

Chezza has previously been linked to producer Alex Da Kid, soldier Andy Baker and Taio Cruz - who recently told MTV News that he isn't dating the gorgeous Geordie.

The insider adde! d: "Cher yl is linked with any man she works with. Now she's ready to date and have fun, so she's looking for a nice guy."

Last week, Cole was forced to pull out of a duet with Gary at the Children in Need Rocks Manchester event after being struck with throat condition, pharyngitis.
