Cheryl goes Cole turkey this Xmas
The Geordie singer is laying on a festive feast for her bandmates this week.
Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding and Kimberley Walsh will pop over to her North London pad wearing their finest festive knitwear.
But the drinks cabinet will remain firmly shut following Sarah's recent stint in rehab for alcohol problems.
A source said: "Cheryl is going all out. She has already ordered all the food and is determined to cook everything herself.
"She's doing the full works, turkey with all the trimmings, and the lunch table will be laid with crackers and other traditional Christmas decorations.
"But with Sarah having just left rehab, Cheryl doesn't want to make it into a drunken dinner so isn't planning on having any wine involved.
"It's just a chance for the girls to catch up with each other before Christmas."
But Chezza will have to pull out all the stops to keep the girls entertained if booze is off limits.
Roast winner ... nosh will be top if Cheryl Cole gets it right
Estranged bandmate Nadine Coyle was invited but will not attend because she is still in the States.
Pity, as it would have been the perfect chance for the girlband to discuss tactics before their tenth anniversary celebrations planned for the end of next year.
If Cheryl's turkey is a success, it could be very significant for her.
She will be in with a chance of landing the catering gig for the band's concerts.
