'Best birthday ever': Cheryl Cole cuts into pink two-tier cake as she celebrates her 31st after being surprised with dozens of red roses

While many might not want to broadcast the fact they're another year older, Cheryl Cole looked keen to show her fans how she was marking her 31st on Monday.

The singer took to Instagram to post a snap of her elaborate pink cake, complete with two-tiers and stunning flowers.

The X Factor judge could be seen cutting into the creation while dressed in an all-black look, after being surprised by huge bunches of red roses which were placed around her candle-lit room.

While it's unclear who bought Cheryl the floral arrangements, The Daily Star reports that Cheryl's French lover, Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini is planning a special day for her.

Reports say the restaurant owner is hoping to reserve hit nightspot Chiltern Firehouse for her party and his own company, Cosy Box, will do the catering.

A source told the paper: 'Cheryl knows there's going to be a party, but doesn't know all the details yet.
