Cheryl Cole has spoken of her joy that her marriage will finally end today, saying: “Thank God the nightmare is over”.

The Girls Aloud star is said to be relieved to have achieved a “divorce with dignity”.

A pal said: “It’s been a horrible few months for her, but at last she can look forward to the future.

“She feels like a massive weight has been lifted off her shoulders. She thinks it’s sad the way things have turned out, but life goes on.”

Neither Cheryl, 27, nor Chelsea left-back Ashley, 27, are expected to be present when their four-year marriage is officially declared over at the High Court in London today.

The X Factor judge is in Los Angeles while England star Ashley will face Bulgaria at Wembley tonight. Their case – numbered FD10D02550 – will be the first of 29 to be rubber-stamped by District Judge Christopher Simmonds. In a break from protocol, only their initials – CAC v AC – were listed yesterday at the court, unlike the other couples’ cases. Their decree nisi is to be announced at 10am in Court 9 of the Principal Registry of the High Court’s Family Division in High Holborn, central London.

New details have emerged about Cheryl Cole’s first single from her upcoming second album.

Apparently the video is being shot this week and is being directed by Sophie Miller who has worked with the likes of Beyonce, Coldplay and Kings of Leon.

The X Factor judge is believed to have chosen Promise This as the first single as she related the lyrics to her recent battle with malaria.

The Girls Aloud star will perform the track on The X Factor, apparently on the second live show with Joe McElderry, Cheryl’s protege from 2009, rumoured to be singing on the first.

Simon Cowell reportedly wants Cheryl Cole to call time on her relationship with dancer Derek Hough for the sake of her career.

The music mogul
apparently made his feelings clear when he invited Derek over for dinner at his London mansion, The Mirror newspaper reported.

Simon, 50, is said to have told Derek – who is rumoured to be dating the Girls Aloud singer – that Cheryl would be better off single.

A close friend of Derek’s reportedly told the Mirror, ‘During the dinner Simon told Derek, ‘It’s nothing personal, I just don’t think Cheryl should be spending so much time with you so soon after her marriage breakup’.

‘She thinks he is wise and emotionally intelligent, which is why Derek is so scared that Simon’s opinion could hurt them in the long run.’

But a spokesman for Simon denied that he had stuck his nose in, telling the Mirror, ‘Simon wouldn’t dream of telling anyone what to do in their private relationships.’

Cheryl Cole will be returning to the X Factor 2010 show ready for the Judges Houses’ stage. This week she has released sneak previews of her new 2011 calendar sending her fans and viewers of the show a clear message that she is well and recovering form her recent battle with malaria.

Cheryl said in a recent interview that she couldn’t wait to find out what her category will be when she returns to X Factor. Cheryl loves developing talent and seeing them flourish. With Cheryl recording her follow up to her debut album in LA, it is thought that she will remain there and fly the contestants out to her. Recent press has suggested that Simon Cowell’s contestants will join him in Cyprus, Dannii Minogue’s in Melbourne, Louis Walsh’s in Ireland and finally Cheryl’s in Hollywood!

This is great for contestants as they will get to visit America and join Cheryl as she is recording her album so will be at her most creative. As the level of the show suggests, “Judges’ Houses” should be with Cheryl at her home. Previously when Cheryl was asked if she would move to America said not unless there was a place for her on the American X Factor judging panel. Although this looks unlikely Cheryl didn’t say she didn’t want to live there just that she would need work there first.

If X Factor odds are to be believed and Cheryl was to be offered a spot on American X factor now, at this stage in her career she is currently trying to break into the US market so would not be as well received as in the UK. Cheryl earlier this year has accompanied American hit group Black Eyed Peas on their recent tour, she also has been photographed with front man Will I Am and said to have been working closely with him on her new album. Is this a tactic from Cheryl to win over America?

For the benefit of those who bet on X Factor UK and all Cheryl’s loyal UK fans that flying the contestants over to LA is simply for convenience while she records her album and not a message to the world that this is where she wants her home to be!
