"Cheryl Cole has reportedly told friends that she should not have split from ex-husband Ashley. The Girls Aloud star and Chelsea defender married in 2006 but divorced last year following repeated claims that Ashley had been unfaithful. It has been rumoured that Ashley has asked Cheryl to marry him again amid widespread reports that the couple have reunited. A source told Heat: &amp;quot;She knew deep down that she and Ashley would get back together and it might have been less trouble if they&amp;#039;d just keep their heads down and stuck it out.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Cheryl Cole &amp;#039;to fly home for anniversary with Ashley&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Derek Hough &amp;#039;gives Cheryl Cole blessing over Ashley&amp;#039; The source added that Ashley has told Cheryl to ignore reports that he has slept with several women while trying to win her back.

I&amp;#039;ve been hanging about waiting for you and have been free to do as I wanted. &amp;quot;I spent four weeks in LA with the lads and 99% of the time I was on my own and celibate. There were a couple of drunken occasions, but they meant nothing and have been highly exaggerated. Don&amp;#039;t let it get in the way of us. From the moment we got back together, it&amp;#039;s just been us.&amp;quot; The source added: &amp;quot;Chery&amp;#039;s not leaving Ashley - she knows all about the girls...
