CHERYL Cole has taken her brother to live in Los Angeles with her... nervous she will feel homesick on her American adventure.


The singer – who starts work tonight on the US version of X Factor – touched down late on Friday with Garry Tweedy at her side.

And Garry, 23, will be living with her at her luxury beachside hotel so she doesn’t miss the UK, the Sunday Mirror can reveal.

There were chaotic scenes at Los Angeles airport when Cheryl, 27, Garry and PA Lily England arrived from ­Heathrow.

Five bodyguards whisked them into a ­waiting ­limousine and away to their hotel in super-­fashionable Santa Monica. In true LA style, their luggage was sent on in a separate limo.

Earlier, a tired-looking Cheryl had been seen with a large coldsore. But by the time she arrived in America she had covered up the blemish with bright red lipstick.

Simon Cowell confirmed on Thursday that Cheryl, unknown in America, will star on X Factor, ending months of ­speculation.

Cowell had to battle Fox TV executives, who were unsure about an unknown in the US. They also feared viewers may not ­understand Cheryl’s Geordie accent.

Cheryl admitted after the announcement: “I’m a really homely person. I miss home when I’m only away for a few days.”

Loyal Garry travelled from Newcastle to ­accompany Cheryl to Venice in February and was at her side on a trip to the States in March. Tonight’s televised ­auditions will be the first test of whether ­Americans will be won over by X Factor. The show must compete with American Idol, judged by major stars including Jennifer Lopez.

Cheryl is house-hunting in LA and is believed to have set her heart on an historic property in the Hollywood Hills.
