Cheryl Cole’s new husband tried to teach Louis Walsh French the first time they met.
The X Factor judge secretly married Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini after just three months.
The former Girls Aloud previously introduced the French restauranteur to her fellow X Factor judges during recent auditions in Newcastle.
He can’t speak French: Louis was taught by Cheryl’s husband
And Jean-Bernard then tried to teach ex-Westlife boss Louis how to speak his mother-tongue over a Chinese takeaway, X Factor producer Mark Sidaway revealed.
He added: “Met him at the Newcastle auditions. Top fella. We shared a Chinese take away as he tried to teach Louis French.”
It emerged today that Cheryl – who splashed out more than €400,000 on her wedding – is taking Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini’s name.
They married at the exclusive Cotton House resort in Mustique, which overlooks luxurious Macaroni Beach.
