Cheryl has been texting Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan regularly with ideas about how to tackle the spread of of coronavirus and help ease the nation in the long months of lockdown ahead.
The Girls Aloud babe says that all the drive through fast food restaurants which have been shut to help stop the spread of the virus should be turned into a way for people to collect food shopping.
The idea would dramatically reduce the need for people to enter supermarkets and risk picking up from Covid-19.
Opening up about his friendship with Cheryl, Piers said: “Cheryl has been texting me regularly to see how she can help and coming up with ideas.
“The other day she said ‘I have a mad idea’ and she said ‘is there not a way to turn the drive throughs into food pick up points?’

“I thought it was a great idea. She wasn’t sure if she should tweet it but I am glad she did.”
Impressed with the idea, TV medic Dr Hillary Jones added to Piers Morgan: “Also, what about the people who carter for the airlines which are no longer flying to cater for the hospitals.”
Taking to Twitter over the weekend, Cheryl posted the idea to her 5.9 million followers.

Cheryl said: “I have an idea.. I haven’t got into any of the logistics yet but as a concept… as there are now so many drive through restaurants closed.
“Could we partner them with food stores, set up an app for locals and use their drive thru’s as a safer way for people to shop essentials?”
Despite the government promising to take another look at the lockdown rules in the UK every three months, the public have been warned life may not go back for six months.

Speaking in a press conference, England’s deputy chief medical officer Dr Jenny Harries said: “The issue of the three weeks is for us to review where we are and to see if we have had an impact on the slope of that curve.
“But it think, to make it clear to the public, if we are successful, will will have squashed the top of the curve but we must not then revert to the normal way of living – that would be quite dangerous.
Over time, probably over the next six months, we will have a three week review and see where we are going.”
She later added: “This is not to say we would be in complete lockdown for six months.”
