Cheryl Cole PR confirms divorce filing

Cheryl Cole's PR company has confirmed that the singer has filed for divorce from her husband Ashley.

Earlier reports had claimed that Cheryl had cited "unreasonable behaviour" in a divorce action at London's High Court and hoped to finalise proceedings before the start of the World Cup next month.

Cheryl's representatives Supersonic PR have since posted a message on Twitter stating: "We can confirm the divorce. We have no further comment."

Ashley and Cheryl separated earlier this year following claims that he had cheated on her with several women.
