London - Cheryl Cole has reportedly given her cheating soccer star husband a six-month sex ban.
The Girls Aloud beauty - who was left devastated after discovering Chelsea and England player Ashley had bedded three women behind her back - has decided to give their 19-month marriage one last chance but has told him they will not be getting intimate in the near future.
A source said: "Cheryl has told Ashley there'll be no sex in their house for at least six months and, although he's going to find it incredibly tough, he agreed to her terms.
"She wants Ashley to appreciate her and realise what he has. However, he's a red-blooded guy and it's not going to be easy."
Cheryl - who has always claimed she will never forgive a man who cheats on her - has also decided she and Ashley will renew their marriage vows this summer to show everyone they are serious about their relationship.
The couple's marriage was rocked in January when it was revealed Ashley had slept with hairdresser Aimee Walton after a drunken night out in December.
Aimee then claimed the athlete had offered her money for an abortion after a pregnancy scare. Two other women also came forward claiming they'd had sex with Ashley, but were paid to keep quiet.
After the revelations, Cheryl jetted to Thailand for a holiday before going to Los Angeles for work commitments. When she returned she told Ashley she was prepared to save their relationship after realising she couldn't live without him. - Bang showbiz.
