Cheryl Cole ditches the sling and looks loved-up on date with boyfriend Tre Holloway after Will.i.am car crash

Cheryl Cole is back in the UK

Cheryl Cole has been out and about with boyfriend Tre Holloway following her recent car crash trauma.

The Call My Name singer was left with a bloody nose and forced to wear a sling after the incident in LA last week, when manager Will.i.am, 37, smashed the Cadillac they were travelling in into another car following a late-night recording session.

But the pair, who were left shaken, both seem to have recovered well.

Cheryl, 29, looked happy as she held hands with dancer beau Tre, 27, following a romantic meal at Japanese restaurant Sumosan in London on Tuesday.

It's the first time the pair have been snapped being openly affectionate, although they're rumoured to have started dating back in March.

Wearing a leather skirt and black and cream top, the Girls Aloud star had also ditched her sling.

Che! zza recently blamed Will, who has removed the neck brace he was forced to wear after the crash, for causing the incident by chatting too much.

'He's that bad a talker!' the star told Capital FM.

'He was talking the face off us. He was talking about NASA and Mars.'
