London
(ANI):
Rapper
Will.i.am
was
"sick
with
rage" after
he
heard
Cheryl
Cole
had
been
on
a
couple
dates
with
dancer
Derek
Hough,
it
has
emerged.
Will.i.am,
35,
has
been
trying
to
woo
Cheryl,
26,
after
her
marriage
to
footie
Ashley
Cole,
29,
fell
apart.
However,
he
was
furious
when
Derek,
24,
was
seen
sneaking
out
of
Cheryl's
West
Hollywood
home
last
week.
And
the
Black
Eyed
Peas
star
was
not
any
happier
when
Derek
returned
to
Cheryl's
house
after
spending
the
day
rehearsing
for
Dancing
With
The
Stars.
Will.i.am,
who
invited
Cheryl
to
spend
Easter
in
Los
Angeles,
is
said
to
be
smitten
by
her.
The
duo
came
close
after
the
rapper
produced
Cheryl's
debut
solo
album
3
Words.
Will
is
absolutely
besotted
with
Cheryl
and
thinks
she
could
be
his
perfect
woman," the
Daily
Star
quoted
an
insider,
as
saying.
The
source
added:
"He's
heard
rumours
she's
still
seeing
Derek
and
cannot
stand
the
thought
of
him
getting
his
hands
on
her.
He's
determined
to
make
things
official
with
her
before
she
gets
snapped
up
by
someone
else.
To
say
he's
furious
about
Derek's
new
attempts
to
woo
her
would
be
the
understatement
of
the
century."
