Cheryl Cole could be set to receive millions in a divorce settlement from husband Ashley.

The X Factor judge and Girls Aloud star was thought to be uninterested in receiving a payout, but The Sun has now suggested otherwise.

Ashley flew out to South Africa with the England squad this week, with the side playing their first World Cup match next Saturday.

But insiders told the news provider he signed papers agreeing to the demands of Cheryl’s lawyers before he left and is now expecting to receive a bill of around £4.5 million.

“He can’t believe she will walk away with nothing,” a source said. “She worked as hard as him for their possessions.”

Cheryl filed for divorce last month after claims Ashley had cheated on her caused a split.
