Cheryl Cole's brother, Andrew Tweedy, has hit out at his sisters cheating husband Ashley Cole, saying he has hurt and humiliated Cheryl.

According to the Daily Mail, Andrew told a newspaper: "My heart bleeds for Cheryl, I know what she's going through. This has really hurt her.

"She has a heart of gold and does not deserve it.

"Ashley Cole is arrogant and I will never forgive him for what he has done to my little sister."

Uh oh. We wouldn't want to be in Ashley football boots now...

Andrew also spoke about Cheryl's hopes for a family: "She saw him as the father to their kids. That's why she married him and that's why he has left her heartbroken.

"Having kids with him, becoming a mother, that's all Cheryl has ever really wanted. She comes from a big family we are all still close and the maternal instinct is really strong in her.

"The public humiliation makes it 10 times worse, but for her not being able to start a family is the hardest part."

Crikey, we didn't realise career woman Cheryl was quite so ready to settle down...

Cheryl and Ashley in happier times...
