The News of the World is reporting that footballer Ashley Cole is dating a lookalike of his estranged wife, Cheryl. She's a former lap dancer by the name of Sarah Purnell, age 23. The two met in a London club a few weeks back.
Cole has just headed off to South Africa where he will be representing England in the FIFA World Cup.
From the News of the World:
Ashley was given a special World Cup send-off by his sexy new girlfriend after she arrived at his luxury bachelor pad around midnight on Tuesday.
Neighbours revealed the former lapdancer - in skinny black jeans, tight vest top and cardigan - emerged two hours later as he yelled, "See you later, Sexy Bum," from an upstairs window.
Cheryl, 26, filed for divorce this week on the grounds of Ashley's unreasonable behaviour after he was exposed for cheating on her with four women.
If you were looking for steamy details of Ashley's new love, the News of the World, in rare fashion, toned down the relationship.
A friend of Purnell's revealed: "Sarah is absolutely over the moon about their relationship but has been very secretive about it and hardly told a soul.
"She spent the first night at his and it was all very romantic. Ashley was a perfect gentleman and treated her like a princess.
"She hasn't got a bad word to say about him and has defended him when people have tried to have a go about Cheryl or the end of his marriage.
"He's been the complete opposite of the man everybody thinks they know.
"Ashley has not done anything sleazy at all and has been extremely charming with her. He seems to really care for Sarah.
"They text each other all day and Sarah has spoken to him nearly every day since they met.
"He even told her she looks the spitting image of Cheryl but she's getting used to that.
"Most people tell her she resembles Cheryl but Sarah is definitely her own person. She's no wannabe."
