There is no doubt that Cheryl and Ashley Cole represent the ultimate union
between two of UK bookies' favourite betting markets - sports and showbiz.
When the Chelsea footballer married the Girls Aloud singer, Cheryl Cole, it
seemed a match made in bookie heaven. Markets were offered on everything about
this couple, including their ups and downs in married life, infidelities, break
ups and make ups.
But now it seems that the last death knoll has sounded on this couple's
relationship after only 3.5 years of marriage, after it was revealed that Ashley
cheated - yet again.
After fleeing to the United States for a brief respite, bookies had a field
day about what the future holds for this couple.
Odds were placed on the chances of Cheryl forgiving him once more, of the
couple announcing a divorce, and even on the men Ms. Cole is sure to date after
her divorce is final.
Bookies such as Ladbrokes and Paddy Power have already paid out to those who
predicted an end to the relationship, and the last nail in their union coffin
was placed after Cole recently told her mother in law that there is no chance of
them getting back together.
Sue Cole had to break the news to her son, who has been pestering Cheryl with
text messages about a possible reunion, that - this time - things are finally
over.
Both of them have since taken off their wedding rings.
Will Cheryl Cole remain on as X Factor judge or will she make her way to the
United States to get away from it all?
Will she have regrets about leaving Ashley and give him one last chance?

Cole.
