Cole: I'm winning Cheryl back - Ashley brags they'll be a couple again soon
Wooed ... Ashley Cole, the cheating ex, is aiming to win back former wife Cheryl Cole

LOVE cheat Ashley Cole was last night bragging he WILL win back his ex-wife Cheryl after wooing her during a night spent together at their old home.

Pals said dumped X Factor star Cheryl, 27, is considering starting again with the soccer ace - who broke her heart with a string of affairs. He is boasting it was a "done deal".

And Cheryl is now wondering if they could still have a future together - despite their marriage having been wrecked by the soccer star's affairs.

She has put her showbiz career on hold as she "seriously considers" starting again with the Chelsea and England defender.

Girls Aloud singer Cheryl may even decide to leave Britain FOR GOOD with Ashley, 30, after he retires from footie.

Ashley, who moved alone back into their 12-bedroom ex-marital home in Godalming, Surrey, in December, has been bombarding Cheryl, 27, with emotional phone calls and texts. And she has admitted to feelings for the man who broke her heart.

Cheryl was devastated when she quit the UK X Factor to be a judge on the US version, only to be dumped from it.

She was then secretly smuggled into her former marital home nearly two weeks ago. The couple did not have sex - but spent hours chatting about old times.

A friend said: "Ashley gave a lost and hurt woman, whom he still loves, a place to lay her head. It reminded her of a happier time.

"It was masochistic of her and clever of him. He'd do anything to woo her back.

"Her PR team insist it is platonic but they are very worried."

A family friend of Cheryl said the X Factor disaster had left her open to Cole's advances.
