Uhoh, Cheryl’s moving away from the light and back to the deep black darkness of Ashley Cole.

It would seem that after a series of pleading calls, Ashley has managed to brainwash Cheryl into agreeing to counselling sessions with the first to take place as early as next week when Ashley returns home from France where he’s been receiving treatment for a broken ankle.

A source close to Cheryl told the Daily Mail:

“She thinks he deserves to be heard and understands how he could think that she let him down as a wife.

“In essence she is starting to accept his claim that it is not solely his fault their marriage collapsed.”

The source says that Cheryl has convinced herself that Ashley is less “cad” and more “victim of circumstance”.

Right, get Simon Cowell on the phone, if the source is to be believed Cheryl Cole needs a good cold slap in the form of Simon’s blunt and painfully truthful words.
