Rihanna has revealed she has a crush on Cheryl Cole.

Cheryl admitted that she fancied the chart star as she presented her with an award at the Brits last year.

Now the Where Have You Been singer has returned the compliment, telling Esquire magazine: "Ooh! Cheryl Cole is... hot. I would just like to watch her work. Preferably cleaning things on the floor. Picking up stuff on the floor. Bending over."

"She's hot!" Rihanna added. "I mean, literally...she's so beautiful."

Rihanna also told the mag that she wanted to settle down in five years time.

"Hopefully I'll have a man by then. I've gotta start there, right? But how far I go (with my career) is God's plan," she said.

"I'm just following through my destiny. I don't think it ever ends. It just evolves."
