Painfully Thin Cheryl Cole 'Battles To Save Marriage'

Cheryl Cole is said to be ‘wasting away’ as she battles to save her marriage to Premiership footballer Ashley Cole.

The Girls Aloud singer is said to have dropped two dress sizes since revelations about Ashley cheating on her hit the headlines, with pictures of a painfully thin Cheryl featured in the press today.

A source tells the News Of The World, “Cheryl's weight has plummeted. She was a size 10. Now she has to buy size six outfits."

However, Cole herself has said her new, slight figure is simply due to her fitness regime.

"I've had to watch my weight and do rigorous workouts to keep trim," she says.
