'Under The Sun' songstress Cheryl Cole has revealed that she doesn't care much for material romance because it's the thought that counts and not whether you receive diamonds on Valentine's Day.

Speaking to Pandora, which is sponsoring the Girls Aloud tour, she explained that it's important for people to be romantic and it doesn't always have to be a lavish or grand gesture:

"For me romance is literally thought. It doesn't matter what the gesture is, whether it's a very luxurious piece of jewellery or clothing, or whether somebody has just thought about making you a card or running you a bath and lighting you some candles."

"It's the thought that I find to be romantic. And I'm a hopeless romantic, so anyone who thinks like that is on good stead."

Nadine Coyle chipped in and opened up about her favourite Valentine's Day experience: "The most romantic Valentine's Day that I've had in a while was when me and a boyfriend were on an airplane and the hostesses saw we were a couple so literally set out a table for us, poured us champagne and created a Valentine's Day dinner 30,000 feet high!"
