Cheryl Cole is still hooked on cigarettes and has no intention of trying to quit.
The X Factor judge and mentor Simon Cowell both like to light up to relax.
'I probably smoke about 5 a day, not many - but probably 20 today,' she confessed during her interview with Piers Morgan on his TV show Piers Morgan's Inside Stories.
Cheryl, 27, isn't much of a drinker, though. Which is why she thought she had a hangover when she was taken ill with malaria.
'I got the first symptoms the day after my birthday,' she recalled. 'I'd had 2 or 3 vodkas
the night before and I never drink.
'Next morning I was putting on my
moisturiser and me skin hurt, it was sore. I thought this is the worst
hangover I've ever had but not for one second did malaria cross my mind.'
