The couple separated at the end of January amid allegations that Ashley cheated on Cheryl with hairdresser Aimee Walton. However, the Girls Aloud singer reportedly decided she wanted to give her husband a second chance.
A friend of the couple is quoted as saying: "Cheryl has told Ashley there will be no sex in their house for at least six months and although he’s going to find it incredibly hard he agreed to her terms.
"She wants Ashley to appreciate her and realise what he has got. But he’s a red-blooded fella and it’s not going to be easy."
The couple will reportedly renew their wedding vows this summer in a ceremony in Newcastle.
The source added: "When Cheryl took her vows she meant them, Ashley obviously didn’t - he’s got one more chance to get it right."

If he loves her enough he'd do it to be honest. If she really is the person that he wants to spend the rest of his life with then he'd do it. Good idea Cheryl.

Yeh because banning a millionaire footballer with a penchant for ballduggery sex for 6 months is sooooo going to help their marriage. Cheryl is only exposing herself as a vapid gold-digger now that Girls Aloud are on the skids. Taking your unfaithful husband back once will make a divorce judge give you some more money and make dumb women in this country admire her for "being courageous" but it certainly wont make anyone with half a brain and an ounce of self respect believe that you are only after his $$££$$£$£$£

It depends how serious he is about making their marriage work! I hope he does for Cheryls sake but I have my doubts.

she is a very silly girl. Once a cheater always a cheater, especially as he has not even managed 5 years! Celeb's should not get married till they are at least 35 its asking for trouble!

Good idea, but in reality sending him for STD checks is a bit like closing the gate after the horse has bolted, it seems she was sharing him for sometime anyway. She should be the one having the checks also!

Has anyone thought maybe the six month ban is so that he and she can go for STD checks? I for one would be making him go knowing he slept with someone else.

What a joke, like that is actually going to work. Maybe that is what started before and he cheated to go get some!

What a fantastic idea.....not! i dont think she should have taken him back in the first place but putting a sex ban on someone who cheated is not a good idea. He didnt respect her enough to be faithful before, its not gonna change by banning sex from the house!
