The Sun apologises to Cheryl Cole over Ashley break-up story

By Dominic wireposts

The Sun has apologised to singer Cheryl Cole in a page seven clarification brokered by the Press Complaints Commission.

The apology states: “AS part of our coverage of the break-up of Cheryl and Ashley Cole’s marriage we reported on March 4 that the singer would fly to France to meet her estranged husband who was texting her lines from her songs.

“We accept Cheryl did not fly to France, no such texts were sent and she denies saying she was scared of life as a single girl as we reported on March 1. We are happy to set the record straight and apologise to Cheryl.”
