Oh, dear! Ashley Cole still calls Cheryl his 'wife'

Ashley Cole still thinks Cheryl belongs to him

Ashley Cole's enjoyed flings with several women since he and Cheryl Cole split, but Now can reveal that the footballer still has Chezza listed as 'wife' in his phone - because he continues to think of her as his!

So what will Ashley, 31, think now it's been revealed his former missus, 29, has been seeing dancer Tre Holloway for several months?

'Ashley knows she's dating, but this will come as a shock,' says a source close to the England footballer, who Cheryl divorced in 2010.

'He still hoped they might get back together and didn't believe she would find something as good as what they had together.'

Ashley's mum Sue had been trying to get them back together in recent months but that's looking unlikely now.
