Cheryl Cole’s furious showdown with cheating husband Ashley

Happier times ... Ashley proposes to Cheryl Cole in Dubai

GORGEOUS Cheryl Cole has confessed that the “sadness, physical pain, sickness and fury was like I’d never experienced” after she discovered her husband Ashley had been unfaithful.

The 29-year-old says she attacked him like a ‘lunatic’ — “shaking him, kicking and scratching his face” — after The Sun revealed his cheating in 2008, less than two years after they wed.

In a world exclusive extract from her new autobiography, Cheryl: My Story, she tells how she found herself yelling at the footballer: “I hope she was worth it. It’s the end of your marriage. It’s f***ed!”

ASHLEY asked: “D’you want a cup of tea?” He hardly ever made tea, and I sensed something was off.

We were in the bedroom, it was about 11pm on Thursday January 24, 2008, and he’d been acting weird all evening.

I said I didn’t, but Ashley went downstairs anyway, and I decided to follow him. I found him on the phone in the hallway and he was clearly flapping. I could tell he was talking to his agent, which set my heart beating ten to the dozen.

Then my phone rang, “Can you talk, Cheryl? I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news.” It was Sundraj Sreenivasan, the head of publicity for my record company Polydor.

“What is it?” I replied.

I was standing just a few feet away from Ashley now, staring at him — and I could feel my body going into shock. Ashley was looking straight back at me with a worried look, still talking to his agent.

“I’m sorry to be the one to have to tell you,” he said. “A girl has come forward and said she’s had sex with Ashley.” I just froze.

I was still staring at Ashley, and I could hear him asking his agent what would be in the story. At the same time as I was hearing it would be on the internet at midnight, and in tomorrow’s Sun newspaper.

The claims the girl was making went back to December 2007 — the day of a Ricky Hatton boxing match in Las Vegas
when Ashley had arranged to be out all night.
