Cheryl Cole has revealed her happiness at having her "boobs and bum" back as a result of taking some time off work.

The singer told Grazia magazine that she has been enjoying a stress-free break from working, and as a result, has put on some weight.

She admitted that she's at her skinniest when she's working hard - but she's now got her "curves" back. She said:

"When I'm really thin is normally when I am working nonstop. I don't put any emphasis on thinking, 'Oh, I'm thin at the moment.' Right now I've got my curves back because I've had time off, I'm at home cooking, I'm more relaxed. I'm not defined by being seven pounds heavier than I was two months ago - I think it is really unhealthy to go there. The curves are back, well and truly. I've got my boobs and bum back and, yeah, I like it. I think it's sexy."

Cole however moved to align sexiness with inner happiness, and not what's on the outside. She added:

"All of us girls can get so confused. I think women look best when they are happy. The greatest, sexiest thing is just being comfortable with you. The real beauty of a woman is about just being confident and comfortable in you - whatever you put on."
