Cheryl Cole has gone one step beyond the pyjama-inspired trend seen on the catwalks recently, by admitting to going out in actual pyjamas.

Although she is often hailed as a fashion icon, the singer is happy to pay homage to her double bed by strutting her stuff in her night-time getup during the day.

Cheryl did confess that she relies on evading any passing fans or amateur photographers however, so perhaps she won’t be wearing them for any star-studded appearances!

With her busy schedule, fans will be glad to know the songstress has time to lounge around.

She said: “Sometimes I get up in the morning, have a shower and put fresh pyjamas on. I can go to the garage at the bottom of the road in my pyjamas. As long as someone doesn’t take my photo on their phone, I’m fine. I just nip in and nip out.”

The Geordie beauty’s new single, Call My Name is out on June 10th.

A fox cub tried out the main bedroom of nine-year-old Alexander West’s home before settling into his single bed on April 16th.

The schoolboy found a female fox cub curled up on his mattress after leaving the back door of his townhouse open.

Alexander was playing outside when the cub crept in to his Hertfordshire home and upstairs to take her pick of the bedrooms, the Daily Mail reported on April 18th.

The fox cub was lucky not to have had a run-in with the family pet, Fifi the cat, in her quest for a comfy place to sleep.

The family could tell from dirty footprints left by the fox that she had tried out the main bedroom before changing her mind and heading to Alexander’s.

Alexander’s mother Dina Luminati-West said she was shocked to see the creature, but Alexander was pleased it had sought refuge in his bedroom. Ms Luminati-West told her son it had chosen his room “because it was so messy.”

Ms Luminati-West knew that foxes lived nearby, but was very surprised that they would dare to enter people’s houses. She called the RSPCA to come and collect the fox cub.

“We’ll be keeping our door firmly shut from now on,” she said.

A report released yesterday (April 16th) explained the circumstances that led to the injury of sixteen people on board an Air Canada flight in January 2011.

According to Canada’s Transportation Safety Board, the flight from Toronto to Zurich on January 13th was disrupted because the pilot was confused due to tiredness. It is unsurprising that in the cabin beds are not far from pilots’ minds, especially on flights such as the one in question, where the body clock is disrupted by the long periods of darkness that characterise a night-time eastward flight across the Atlantic.

The pilot sent the Boeing 767 into a sharp dive when he mistook the planet Venus for another plane, and then thought an aircraft was descending towards them. He believed his actions would save the passengers and crew from a full-blown impact, but in fact the drop only succeeded in lifting some flyers out of their seats and into a collision with the cabin fixtures, leaving them injured.

The report said that although the pilot got eight hours of sleep the night before, his rest was interrupted by his children. He took a scheduled nap just before the incident, but was still groggy, which caused him to wrongly perceive a threat in the airplane’s flight path.

Canada’s Transportation Safety Board said: “To counter fatigue, some pilots will try to nap before a night–time leg. While this can be helpful in some cases, it cannot prevent fatigue in all pilots.”

The Voice coach Jessie J could be jeopardising her health by been losing out on sleep, according to a recent article.

The singer-turned-judge is surviving on just four hours’ sleep a night according to Now Magazine (April 10th). Jessie could benefit more than most from extra time under the covers of a comfy guest bed while away touring, due to a health issue.

At age 11 Jessie discovered she has a potentially life-threatening heart rhythm problem called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which could leave her at risk of complications if she becomes too stressed. Therefore, taking time out to relax and ensure she is getting the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep each night is even more important.

Jessie recently toured Australia and is currently balancing her commitments to BBC1’s The Voice with her own music career.

A source spoke to Now about Jessie’s busy schedule.

“She wants to do the best job she can, but she doesn’t cope well with stress and her life right now is exactly that 24/7,” the source said. “She isn’t sleeping well and is generally worrying way too much about her acts [which she mentors on The Voice].”

The source concluded by expressing a wish for Jessie to relax and take care of herself.
