Cheryl mobbed by fans as she leaves the theatre in London with EastEnders star Jake Wood
CHERYL looked every inch the star as she was mobbed by fans leaving a West End theatre show with EastEnders star Jake Wood.
The Girls Aloud star and Jake became pals after starring together in 2:22 A Ghost Story and they went to watch Lily Allen, who was also in the show, in a new production.
Cheryl, 39, looked sensational in a sleeveless white co-ord suit after her night out with Jake to watch Smile singer Lily in a production of The Pillowman.
The mum-of-one glammed up in the stylish number complete with baggy flared trousers.
She looked glam as she threw on a pair of dark shades as she went out to greet the crowds outside The Duke of York theatre on Wednesday.
EastEnders star Jake looked smart in a black jacket as ushered his former co-star Cheryl out of the theatre.

Jake opened up on his friendship with the pop star earlier this year on Good Morning Britain.
Jake was probed over his “mischievous” behaviour on stage, causing Cheryl to laugh or 'corpse' on-stage.
He said: "It’s all sort of new to Cheryl, she didn’t know what corpsing was – corpsing is when you laugh on stage. We’re getting in trouble for laughing quite regularly.
"It’s part of the show and the characters – although it’s very scary, there are very sort of funny moments, so it’s just trying to stay in the moment. When the audience are enjoying it, it’s difficult to keep a straight face."

Cheryl won rave reviews for playing lead character Jenny in 2:22 A Ghost Story.
The star has been supported by her loyal fanbase throughout the run despite a member of the theatre team coming under fire online after she appeared to stop the singer from meeting theatre-goers at the stage door.
Her bodyguard also suffered the same criticism after a second clip went viral online that appeared to show him refusing to let Cheryl take a selfie with a fan.
It is believed that the former X Factor judge pocketed a whopping £750,000 for her role on the show.
It is thought to be one of the biggest cheques handed out in West End history.
Former Love Island host Laura Whitmore and singer Lily Allen, both 37, previously played the mum who fears the house she has bought with her husband is haunted.
