Things just keep getting worse in the rather smutty scandal going on with Ashley Cole and his long-term and apparently ongoing infidelity to his wife Cheryl.
Cole, star of the Chelsea footballers and “the world’s best left-back” first denied accusations of text-sex with model Sonia Wild, claiming he was just joking around and that the sexy snaps of himself were sent to the model after he loaned his mobile phone to a friend. That explanation blew up when another model came forward and told The Sun
that she had received almost identical photos from Cole, and produced the proof.
Obviously, Cole did not want his wife to find out about his off-field activities. He often stressed the need for secrecy, sending text messages to the effect that if Cheryl found out he’d be in big trouble, and to please keep his communiqués absolutely private. His pleas were not heeded, since both Sonia and an unknown (or at least un-named) additional paramour told reporters all about it.
Meanwhile, his wife is trying to decide what to do about all this. The phone-sex was going on for the most part while she was at work as the star of “X Factor”, and one act had to be cancelled when she dissolved in tears backstage after hearing (some of) the bad news. However, some of her sorrow must have been relieved when her band, Girls Aloud, hit Number 1 on the charts with their single “The Promise”.
What next? At present Ashley and Cheryl are separated, with Cheryl living in a hotel while she considers her options.
