Cheryl Cole has complained that she will not be able to spend Christmas Day with new husband Ashley.

The Girls Aloud singer has been given some time off for the holidays but will not be able to see much of Ashley because he is training for Chelsea's Boxing Day match.

"We've got some time off during the festive period, but it's a bit of a bummer. Ashley and I have never had a Christmas morning together because he's always got football," she told the Daily Record.

"I'm going home to spend Christmas with my family and friends and I'll see him at New Year."
