Cheryl Cole - Her friend reveals all
Thursday, 14 February 2008
Today might be the worst Valentine's Day ever for Cheryl and Ashley Cole.
A close friend of Girls Aloud has revealed all to The Sun: "She told her closest pals that he might as well have ripped her heart out and stamped on it.
"Ashley's cheating was so painful that, for two weeks, Cheryl practically locked herself in a rented apartment, sobbing herself to sleep.
"She tried to take her mind off things by filming the video for the band's new song Can't Speak French - but the effort to be upbeat drained her even more.
"Cheryl couldn't eat and her weight plummeted so rapidly and significantly that her ribs and hip bones started to jut sharply out. Her cheeks also look sunken.
"So when her family and the girls' management team suggested a holiday, she jumped at the chance."
Cheryl is currently in Thailand with Girls Aloud's Nicola and Kimberley.
Their friend told The Sun: "The girls have had an incredibly low-key holiday as they know Cheryl is mentally exhausted with the breakdown of her marriage. Nicola and Kimberley are trying to encourage her to eat as they believe her weight has plummeted to as little as six stone.
"But she mostly just jumps up from the table after a few mouthfuls and grabs a fag. Because of the stress, Cheryl's chain-smoking her way through 40 a day."
