Andy Baker plans to meet up with the former X Factor judge after the pair met during her morale-boosting trip to Afghanistan. The pair were introduced at an award presentation at Camp Bastion and met again a barracks dinner. New man? Soldier Andy Baker caught Cheryl Cole's eye during her moral-boosting trip to Afghanistan and he hopes to take her out for dinner They posed for several photos together and once Cheryl returned home, she said she planned to give her 'gorgeous soldier' a call. Buff: It's easy to see what attracted the singer to Andy, known as Bagsy to his friends Andy, 25, who is known as Bagsy to his peers, plans to meet up with her once he returns home. His brother-in-law Graham Peck told the Daily Mirror yesterday: 'Andy would love to take Cheryl out for dinner when he’s back in the UK. 'He thought she was absolutely lovely, and really gorgeous – I think all the guys did. “Andy contacted me through Facebook, raving about Cheryl and even made a photo of them his profile picture. 'They met up a couple of times during her trip and hit it off.' But the Girls Aloud star may have to wait until next month as Andy has no mobile phone service until October 1. Graham added: 'When Bagsy read that Cheryl was planning on ringing her mystery soldier, he panicked because he’s not allowed to have his phone on for another nine days – it’s military rules. 'He wants her to know that he’ll be in touch the moment he lands, and wants her to wait for him. Andy’s a great guy and keeps himself fit in the gym.' Popstar to soldier: Cheryl was seen wearing army fatigues with her surname embroided on the pocket of her shirt Andy, of Colchester, Essex, sports an enviable six-pack and has a tattoo sprawling from his left wrist and across his chest. He serves with the tough 3 Commando Brigade, the Royal Navy’s amphibious infantry and has been in the Marines for four years. Andy is currently based in the Marines’ Logistics branch and earns about £29,000 a year, compared with Cheryl's ex husband Ashley Cole's £90,000 a week. He is also apparently a keen footballer. One of the troops: Cheryl with a group of servicemen during her visit to Afghanistan After her trip, Cheryl said: 'Not only are the soldiers incredibly brave, a few were incredibly cute. There was a bit of banter with a couple of the lads and yes, a few flirted I think. 'I came back with a phone number from one lad, although I think his talking to me was a dare. 'I think I am going to call him this week and let’s see what happens. I’m sure he’s not expecting us to, but that’s why it’ll be funny.'
