'Cheryl Coles been married ...she may hurt my son, Tre'

THE mum of Cheryl Coles new fella fears he may get his heart broken by the singer.

Shirley Holloway said son Tre, 26, was inexperienced in love unlike divorcee Cheryl.

The 56-year-old, speaking from her US home, said yesterday: She might hurt him. Shes been married before.

She insisted Los Angeles-based dancer Tre was no love rat unlike Cheryls ex-hubby footballer Ashley Cole.

Shirley said: He wouldnt do that. Thats not him. He has dated in the past in college and high school but it was nothing serious.

She was stunned seeing yesterdays exclusive in The Sun showing Tre leaving a restaurant in London with Cheryl, 29.

Shirley said: I dont know Cheryl. Ive only seen pictures on the internet. Tre said she was pretty big (in the UK).

Hes been dancing for her for a couple of years now, I think.

She admitted Tre who is working in London mentioned Cheryl on the phone.

And Shirley said she suspected something was going on between the pair.

Speaking from the familys suburban home in Burlington, New Jersey, she said: He mentioned that one day last month they went somewhere.

He never said she was his girlfriend. But he said, Oh, she likes me. I got the feeling he was maybe quite into her.

She added: Of course Im curious to meet her. If this is a serious relationship then Im looking forward to meeting her because I trust Tres judgment.

If he likes her, then she must be a good person.

Cheryls mum Joan Tweedy and brother Garry have also given their blessing. A source said: Joan and Garry are happy shes met someone she thinks is great. Theyre hoping to meet him this month.

Cheryls Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh, 30, met Tre for the first time last week in West London. Sarah Harding, 30, has also met hi! m in LA.
