The 28-year-old Fight For This Love singer reunited with the footballer following their 2010 divorce, but was left questioning their future after several women claimed to have slept with her man while he was trying to win her back.
According to Now magazine, Cheryl has finally decided that she wants to move on, and kick-started her new life with a cheeky text to Ashley which simply said, “You are the weakest link. Goodbye.”
A source said that the former X Factor judge was pretty pleased with her reference to British TV show The Weakest Link which sees contestants get voted off by their comrades if they get too many questions wrong.
“She was laughing as she told us about the text,” said the insider.
“Cheryl's had enough. She'll always love Ashley, but they tried to give things another go and they couldn't make it work. This was her way of saying she's done.”
