Cheryl Cole, the British singer and a judge on the UK’s “The X Factor,” is being treated in a London hospital after contracting malaria in Tanzania, where she recently traveled with close friend Derek Hough of “Dancing with the Stars.”

On Saturday, Cole collapsed during a photo shoot for her upcoming album.

Initially, it was believed she was suffering from exhaustion, but when her temperature rose dramatically, Cole was rushed to London’s Cromwell Hospital.

Her spokesman confirmed, “Cheryl Cole is currently in hospital, being treated for malaria. Following doctors’ advice she will be cancelling all work commitments for the next week.”



Hough has reportedly remained by her bedside.
