Cheryl Cole has decided to take back husband Ashley despite his fling with a Morden hairdresser, according to media reports.

The Mirror reports the Girls Aloud singer has told friends she is ready to get back with the Chelsea and England star but wants him to beg first.

The paper quoted a friend of the 24-year-old as saying the singer felt humiliated and "needs Ashley to learn to miss her".

The singer has been thinking things over on a break with her bandmates in Thailand.

Girls Aloud are up for Best British Group at this week's Brit Awards.
