Cheryl Cole 'admits Ashley feelings'

Cheryl Cole has reportedly admitted to friends that she still loves her ex-husband Ashley.

Recent reports suggested that the 'Promise This' singer had turned to the footballer for support over uncertainty surrounding her position on the judging panel for the US version of The X Factor.

"I think I might be falling for him again," Star claims Cheryl told friends.

A source told the magazine: "They've been speaking a lot lately and she's told Ashley that she hasn't been truly happy since they split, and that she still cries over it. She never stopped loving him."

They added: "She's worried about being so far away from him when she relocates to LA. Cheryl knows she shouldn't meet up or get back with Ashley but he has been very supportive lately."

However, Simon Cowell has allegedly warned Cheryl against reuniting with Ashley.

"He has repeatedly warned her that she will jeopardise her career if she lets Ashley back in her life," they said. "Cheryl doesn't want to upset Simon, but she can't cut Ashley out. She can't help how she feels."
