Cole: I'm winning Cheryl back - Ashley brags they'll be a couple again soon

Two become one? ... pals are worried about Cheryl Cole and Ashley Cole, he pictured looking confident on holiday in LA

A friend said: "Ashley has got his claws in and Cheryl is seriously considering if they have a future.

"She knows the British public wouldn't accept a reunion. She has to decide between a career here or love abroad. He'll only be playing a few more years and suggested living abroad and starting a family. It's tearing her apart." Cheryl has not been seen in public since Cowell dumped her from the US X factor five weeks ago.

Cheryl's spokesman refused to comment last night on reports she is being wooed by Ashley.

Ashley - revealed by The Sun in 2008 to have claimed "Cheryl doesn't mind" during a one-night stand with crimper Aimee Walton - has been partying with beauties while in LA.

Meanwhile Cowell's mum Julie, 86, insisted Cheryl unfairly blamed him for her X Factor sacking. She said: "I think Cheryl does blame Simon unfairly for what has happened.

"I think she got very excited about everything that was going to happen in America, as anyone would do.

"For some reason, the Americans didn't want her. There wasn't anything Simon could do about that.

"It isn't Simon's fault. But I think she had built it up and is now very disappointed."
