Olly Murs has revealed he'd love a date with Cheryl Cole.

The singer and Xtra Factor host, 27, has been struggling to find a girlfriend, and admitted he's got a soft spot for the Promise This singer and former X Factor judge.

Olly told Now magazine: "To be honest, I'm having a bit of a nightmare. Name me a single girl in the industry who's young, hot and not taken. There ain't any."

He added: "If Cheryl Cole rang... I'd be like, 'Yes!'."

The Heart Skips A Beat singer also said he's keen to start a family soon.

"The worrying thing is I could have all this but no one to share it with in ten years' time," he added.

"I want to be in a stable relationship and have kids by the time I'm 30. I want to be in love and have a wife - but I'm three years off that."
