Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has said she and her new husband are still very much in the honeymoon phase.

The X Factor judge - who surprised her fans when she suddenly wed Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini this summer - told Jonathan Ross on his show that marriage is going "great".

Cheryl, who was wearing an elegant black and white dress on the programme, also revealed that she likes to keep up her ladylike image with her hubby.

When the host quizzed her about whether they were "farting in front of each other yet", Cheryl insisted: "I don't do that anyway!"

The singer also said she is learning French so she and Jean-Bernard can chat in his native language.

"I hear when he's on the phone and stuff, that's when I pick it up. I can understand more that I can speak to be honest," she said.

"Otherwise it'd be very offensive stuff that I'd be saying."

But the star was coy when she was asked if she has learned any naughty phrases, teasing: "I couldn't possibly say them on TV."

Cheryl was joined by fellow X Factor panellist Mel B on the show, and the pair told how much they respected each other and liked working together.

They also hinted at a musical collaboration in the future.

Mel said mysteriously: "We did speak about that the other day..." And Cheryl added: "Watch this space!"
