Cheryl Cole trusts only her mum and dogs

Super cutie Cheryl Cole has admitted she does not trust anybody – including her footballer husband Ashley – except her mother and her dogs. The Girls Aloud singer and X Factor judge has previously described allegations of infidelity on the part of Ashley as ‘horrendous’. But the 26-year-old also admitted she was realistic about life’s ups and downs, positioned as she felt on ‘the biggest roller coaster ever’ – Daily Mail reveals.

She said: ‘I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t trust anybody in life except my mother and my dogs. ‘I’m scared to let people know how much they mean to me, and it’s scary that you can love a small hairy thing so much.’

Her mother, Joan, often stays at the Coles’ Surrey home, cooking and providing emotional support when needed. But the Geordie said her marriage was ‘happy’, describing Ashley as a ‘simple person’.

In an interview with the Sunday Times Magazine, she explained: ‘Nothing’s under the surface with him.

‘Nothing’s a problem, everything’s easy and comfortable.

‘He’s a genuine nice person.’

Growing up on a council estate in Heaton, Newcastle, Cole dreamed of being a ballerina as a child. She shot to fame when she won her place in Girls Aloud on ITV’s Popstars: the Rivals in 2002. Her parents met when her father was 17 and her mother was a 21-year-old mother-of-three.

‘I love my parents to bits,’ she said. ‘I don’t know what I’d do without them.’ Cole, admitted she would love to have a big family of her own in the future, and spoke of difficulties experienced by her brother and grandfather because of alcohol.

She said because of this she does not drink more than the ‘odd glass of wine to relax’. ‘Drinking is scary to me now,’ she said. ‘I’m scared of losing control of how I feel or what I’m thinking.’
