Couldn't help but notice that she issues a statement about her splitting from him and asks for press privacy (knowing full well that's not going to happen lol) But she issues it on the day she returns to the UK, which guaranteed the press would be at the airport as seen on the news. No breaks ups are pleasant but celebs often want the publicity even if they say they don't. Like others have said I hope she sticks to her decision, he's obviously not a good choice as a husband

When she gets half his money he will

I did find it odd that the mum moved in aswell.

I agree I always thought that was mighty strange.

Obviously not, but who knows what she's like to live with? I'm not for one second dimissing his behaviour with the cheating, he deserves to have his nuts kicked into his stomach for it, but just cos she's perfect and the nations sweetheart and all that malarky doesn't automatically mean that this all boils down to him. No-one knows what goes on behind closed doors.

I lived with my Mum and my husband before. It was before he was my husband right enough. It was amusing

For amusing..read challenging perhaps

Reference: Fairfax
They teamed up against me

You're right of course about not knowing what really goes on, and I doubt she's perfect because who is. When there are problems in a relationship one partner cheating isn't the answer, unless it makes them both realise there's no point in being together any more.

Tattoo "Mrs C"...

Fail.

He's now saying he'll get 'treatment' for his sex addiction!!! Why do these celebs always claim to have an addiction when things start to go wrong....?

...the only person who's benefited from Ashleys cheating is John Terry, lol, at least it got his cheating off the front pages...

I don't get all the 'she'll get half of his money' nonsense that keeps getting spouted. They have a joint fortune of £20million +, that's not all Ashley's. Yeah at £82,000 a week and all his sponsorship stuff he probably earns a bit more, but she's earned a lot in her career too. It's not as if she hasn't earned a penny of it and will take half of HIS money and be loaded purely because of this.

Apparently she's worth about £6 million from Girls Aloud, X-Factor and L'oreal and he is worth about £14 million from football and whatever sponsorship deals he has... so she could well be getting some of his money, but I reckon its compensation for public humiliation

Those figures were from this morning's Metro btw

And she'll go on to earn a hell of a lot more after this. Look, I don't like her as a person and have never been shy in saying that, but I do sympathise with what she must be going through, cos underneath all the hair and the lashes and the plinky plonk fake piano teeth she's still a human being with feelings and so is he. But like someone said in this thread (I think), why have all the media there the minute she stepped off the plane? She could have arranged a decoy if she wanted. There are paps at the airport all the time (I know there are at Heathrow for sure), but they usually get their scoops or tip-offs from the celeb's publicist. She didn't have to attract that kind of attention if she wants so much privacy.

I'll certainly give her all the privacy she wants and wont read about her

I'm the same Karma, I think she is very beautiful but I don't think she's greatly talented as a solo artist...her looks have carried her a long way..I'm not saying she can't sing, she's just better as part of a group.

.....don't forget a few years ago she assaulted a Toilet Attendant, the only reason she became 'the nations sweetheart' was after the story of Ashley cheating with that Hairdresser hit the headlines and people felt sorry for her, since then her career has taken off.

I do feel for her and hope she finds someone who deserves her.

Ashley is now blaming her Mother moving in for his infidelity As I understood it she lived in a seperate buliding in the grounds of their home, anyway, he is blaming that now and not the fact that he can't keep it in his pants...pleb!

in todays paper apparently he is blaming her and her work!

Poor lamb got lonely cos she was always working....i expect she did too while he was away shagging

I had to laugh at the pictures in the newspapers of her new hunk. Plastic hair and plucked eyebrows does not a hunk make.

Are you sure it wasn't just her reflection you saw?

I notice in the papers today:

Ashleys father says "he had it comming"   .... His dad seems to speak alot of truth

And also: "Ashley blames his mother in law" ..... Yeah that's right Ashley .... if in doubt, blame someone other than yourself .... what a prat

It takes 2 to make a marriage and 2 to break a marriage. It's just another couple who put fame and money above working on their relationship. Breaking a marriage is easy keeping one together takes hard work.

I'm not surprised.


I would have been shagging around if I was married to that brittle faced ****.

surely thats Ashley and his tart?

If he was so happy in his marriage why was he screwing around?

cos he can probably... I imagine its very different for footballers to normal blokes, more money than they know what to do with and women draping themselves over them every time they go out to a club... lots more temptation. I imagine they're used to getting whatever they want.

Mind you, he could well have been unhappy in his marriage due to whatever problems they were having - she might be a right mardy cow, i dunno... but he should have talked/worked on it etc instead of going out and sleeping with a string of other wimmin. Cheryl may be responsible for some problems in the marriage, but to me, he is responsible for the breakdown of it because of the immature way in which he chose to handle these problems... she can in no way be blamed for his affairs

Unless he wasn't getting his end away.

Tarts !

he's married, what does he expect?

Poor Cheryl wants the press to respect her privacy..yea right,she 's on Jonathon Ross tomorrow..cue princess Di type interview..

That can't be argued...

I always laugh when they say respect our privacy. If you sold your wedding to the highest bidder your divorce is fair game.

Saz I don't condone what Ashley did and I don't blame her for walking away. We never know what really goes on in a marriage and I suspect that this couple spent very little time together.

me too, what with various work commitments

The banner^^^^^^^^ is across the A3....I nearly crashed my car when I saw it(lol)

That banner actually exists??? Whereabouts on the A3 is it?

Excuse me? I'll be sure to tell my mum that the fact my dad screwed someone else was her fault

lol.

Well she isn't, but lets just go along with you so you can continue your little agenda

I know that people find me old-fashioned, but I can't help but think that if he had dusted, polished, and hoovered the house from top to bottom once a week, say on a Monday afternoon, then none of this would have happened. IMHYCO women are really grateful for that sort of help.

The only thing that l can't believe, that it got so much news coverage. Headline news coverage at that. This country has become ridiculous over it's embrace of celebrity.
