Cheryl Cole believes she was involved in a car crash with will.i.am because of his non-stop motormouth.

As previously reported, the duo were caught up in a minor prang in Los Angeles earlier this week and were said to be left "shaken".

Cole was pictured with a sling this morning (August 31) as she visited Capital FM in London on a promotional jaunt.

Speaking to the radio station, the singer appeared to place the blame on will.i.am and his penchant for shooting the breeze. When asked if he was that bad of a driver, Cole said:

"That bad a talker, he was talking the face of us."

She continued: "You know he was talking about NASA and Mars and his song."

Cole added that the sling was a precaution only and will be taken off in a few days. The former X Factor judge also revealed that the crash happened when they went for a late night trip to fast food chain McDonalds.
