Singer and 'X Factor' judge Cheryl Cole has reportedly increased security at her home in Surrey.
According to The Sun, the singer wanted to create a more secure environment there because she is now spending a lot of time at her home due to the fact that she is recovering from malaria and has been forced to take time off from work.
Reports suggest that Cole has had new heat sensors and cameras installed, as well as hiring extra security guards for the premises.
A source said: "Cheryl has made a few changes at home. She is spending more time there than ever while she recuperates."
"She hasn't received any threats but thought it wise to update all the precautions."
"She believes a more secure domestic situation will help her return to full strength sooner."
