Ashley Cole is allowed out to party

Ashley Cole visited Chinawhite nightclub with his friends earlier this week while his wife Cheryl was touring with Girls Aloud.

The footballer has avoided partying in London since it was reported earlier this year that he cheated on the popstar in 2007.

However, he was spotted drinking Red Bulls with his Chelsea teammates at the night spot until 2am yesterday. Ashley wasn't wearing his wedding ring.

A source told the Daily Star: "Ashley hasn’t been seen on the clubbing scene for weeks now, so it was a bit of a shock for him to turn up.

"There was a good gang of stars there, some of the Chelsea boys and glamour girls, including Lucy Pinder and Malene.

"But Ashley just kept a low profile. He was barely noticed."
