Cheryl Cole has admitted that she ran her autobiography past ex-husband Ashley before handing it over to the printers.

The Girls Aloud star, who releases her official life story on October 12, told ITV’s The Jonathan Ross Show, that she felt it was only fair she informed the Chelsea defender about what she’d written:

"Yes. I didn’t have to but I let him know it was happening. It wouldn’t have mattered if he did [ask for changes], to be quite honest, I just thought it would be nice that I gave him the heads up so he can leave the country two weeks before." 

The 29-year-old, who also joked that she’s never getting in a car with will.i.am ever again, went on to tell the talk show host that a Girls Aloud reunion is definitely on, adding:

"Very soon. It could be before Christmas."
