Cheryl Cole may not have called time on her marriage but a bookmaker has blown the final whistle for her footballer husband Ashley.
Punters who backed the couple to split this year were told they could cash in their betting slips in the wake of lurid headlines relating to the Chelsea player's alleged infidelities.
Bookie William Hill decided the relationship was irretrievable just days after X Factor judge Cheryl performed at the Brits without her wedding ring.
Spokesman Rupert Adams said a string of allegations linking her husband to other women had left bookmakers convinced her marriage to Ashley — who won Match of the Day’s Goal of the Month competition at the weekend — would not survive.
And he suggested Cheryl may already have made her decision. “I don't think anybody in the public eye can keep taking it on the chin,” he said.
“The revelations keep coming and sometimes there is no point in fighting for this love and we think Cheryl has thrown the towel in.”
An intimate relationship is coming to an end. This break will be sudden and disturbing. Resist the urge to patch things up. Right now, your differences are irreconcilable. You're better off going solo for a while. Rediscovering your independence will give you fresh confidence. Suddenly, it won't be so intimidating to go after the career you want. Applying for a job in the art or non-profit arena will be gratifying. You'll enjoy work aimed at making the world a better place.More
