Cheryl Cole tried to keep a hotel stay secret by using the pseudonym MISS ENGLAND.

The singer, 26, was desperate for some peace and quiet during a busy week promoting her first solo album.

So her record company came up with the unlikely assumed name when she checked into a five-star London hotel. A member of staff at the £300-a-night Baglioni told The People: “We get a lot of famous people here and they can go to great lengths to remain incognito and avoid the paparazzi.

“We knew Cheryl was staying and we had to keep it low key – but using the name Miss England wasn’t very original, was it?”

The X Factor judge left England star husband Ashley Cole, 29, all alone at home in Oxshott, Surrey, this week while she spent three days at the hotel opposite Hyde Park, which has views across Kensington Gardens. Record company sources said she was using it as a base for a string of interviews to promote hit album 3 Words across Europe.

But Girls Aloud star Cheryl couldn’t keep totally anonymous. As The People found, above, she was soon spotted by fans when she nipped out for a coffee.
