She returned to London from LA over the weekend, and Cheryl Cole was spotted out in the English capitol earlier today (September 7).

The “X Factor” babe looked to be in good spirits as she made her exit from an office building and hopped into a chauffeured car.

In related news, Simon Cowell recently told press that when he first heard Cole was ill with malaria earlier this summer, he thought she was just hung over.

“When she first fell ill we thought it was a hangover, she even said that to us. But, of course, it was far more serious than that. We got the all-clear and she started to text me, I knew she was on the mend. Then the texts got increasingly grumpy and I knew she was getting back to her old self.”
