Cheryl Cole bombarded with gifts

Cheryl Cole has been bombarded with gifts from husband Ashley as he attempts to earn her forgiveness.

The soccer star has been trying to make amends with the Girls Aloud beauty following revelations earlier this year he cheated on her with three women.

Cheryl is currently on tour with the band and Ashley has been sending her various presents on her travels. Most recently, she received helium balloons, flowers and a bottle of champagne - but Ashley spoiled the surprise by texting Cheryl before the presents arrived.

Cheryl said: "He really didn't think that through did he? Still, they are beautiful."

Despite reports Ashley hasn't attended any of the band's shows, even when they performed close to his London home, Cheryl revealed he made a 250-mile round trip to Birmingham to watch her perform with the group.

Meanwhile, Ashley is reportedly putting pressure on Cheryl to have a baby, in a bid to bring the pair closer together.

A source said: "Ashley has been pressuring Cheryl into having kids.

He is saying that would be the ultimate solution. He is desperately pulling out all the stops to get her back on side."
