Cheryl Cole 'to officially ditch surname'

Cheryl Cole has plans to officially change her surname back to Tweedy, according to reports.

The 'Fight For This Love' singer, who has allegedly told friends that she wants to be called by her maiden name, will unveil the new identity on her next CD, says the Sunday Mirror.

"Now she's made the decision her marriage to Ashley is over, Cheryl wants to move on. This name change is the final thing she feels she has to do before a divorce starts moving forwards," a source claimed.

"She's numb about the marriage ending but knows she needs to pick herself up. Throwing herself into work is how she's coping," the insider added.
