Cheryl Cole has dropped her surname from her latest merchandise line, with her new bags emblazoned with just ‘Cheryl’ on the back.

The star’s official website released her newest items on the day she filed for divorce in the high court and sources suggest that the design was changed, just days before it was sent to the printers.

Although the X Factor judge’s website is still emblazoned with a handwritten logo of her name ‘Cheryl Cole’, her t-shirts, bags and posters bear no mention of the name Cole at all.

A source told The Daily Star: “Cheryl approved the merchandise months ago before any of the marriage problems exploded.

“But after she decided that she was definitely going to divorce him, it would have been strange to release it still emblazoned with his name all over it.

“So they had to make a decision to remove her surname, especially after they knew it would hit her website on that particular day.”

Could this be a sign that Cheryl may be about to go back to her maiden name ‘Tweedy’? Her spokesperson said last night: “We have no comment to make regarding the merchandise.

“With regards to her name, no decision has been made about this yet.”
