X Factor judge Cheryl Cole is reportedly planning to take her cheating husband Ashley Cole back, but only after making him sweat until the summer.

The ’3 Words’ singer is said to be planning a reunion in August with her footballing husband.

A friend told The Daily Star: “However much she tries, Cheryl just can’t let go. She wants to give him another chance.

“She felt under pressure in the UK because she knew all her loved ones wanted her to dump Ashley but her feelings have mellowed since she’s been in LA.

“They’re back in contact and are texting each other a lot.”

Cheryl has reportedly told Ashley that they can try to save their marriage after she finishes her tour with the Black Eyed Peas and when he is done with his World Cup commitments. They are said to be planning to buy a new house, as the old one is thought to hold too many bad memories…..we wonder if Chezza will move her mum in again?
