Ashley Cole is reportedly taking wife Cheryl on a second honeymoon to Mauritius.

The footballer hopes escaping for a holiday will help the couple to overcome their recent troubles.

A source told Reveal: "Ashley booked a romantic break to Mauritius as a surprise for when Cheryl finishes her tour and after his football season finishes.

"He found the most luxurious place he could and hoped it would encourage her to give it another go.

"At first she was very reluctant, but after a lot of convincing by Ashley she's been talked around. He's seeing it as a second honeymoon – but I'm not sure whether she is!"

Cole is said to still be wary of her husband following tabloid reports that he had cheated with hairdresser Aimee Walton.

The insider added: "Cheryl is playing hard ball and Ashley's doing everything in his power to win her back. He really hopes this works and gets them back on track. If he has his way, they would renew their wedding vows there, too – but I doubt that will be on the cards for Cheryl."
