I helped weeping Cheryl Cole cope with pain of her
love-split from Ashley Cole
LOVELORN Cheryl Cole has been captured on video KISSING
a handsome stranger on a hotel bed. In the shock tape that will
stun her cheating soccer star husband Ashley, the weeping Girls
Aloud beauty puts her ARMS AROUND budding US TV star Will Luke as
she cries on his shoulder over her shattered marriage.
Will, 28, told us: "That was as far as it went—but Cheryl was
drop dead gorgeous. Her husband must be mad to cheat on a girl like
that."
The Girls Aloud beauty is captured giving him affectionate
CUDDLES and KISSES only weeks
after discovering the Chelsea star had cheated on her.
Vulnerable Cheryl, 24, snuggled up to Will after inviting him up
to her hotel bedroom—where he and his pal filmed her and bandmates
Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts partying in the early hours for
a pilot reality TV show.
Kissed
"She was crying on her bed and clearly going through a difficult
time," says Will, 28, who touched the Geordie singer's damaged
heartstrings with a quote from the BIBLE. "But
when I went to sit next to her she moved closer and closer to me
until she had her arms round me.

TV camera
"She kept saying to me, ‘You make me feel so good. You made me
feel much better'. She said she loved my bald head and kissed it
twice. I felt like the luckiest man alive. "Then her hairdresser
came over and explained Cheryl was having a rough time with her
marriage. I thought what man could ever cheat on a wife who looked
like Cheryl?"

Kimberley and Kenny
Will's revelations will shake Ashley, whose drunken
night with blonde hairdresser Aimee Walton, 22, drove Cheryl to
flee in tears to Thailand with Kimberley and Nicola.
On their way back to Britain the girls stopped off in Los
Angeles at the plush Mondrian Hotel on February 16. Will was there
with pal Kenny Rufus, 32, making a reality show called Parking Lot
Pimps where they both try to charm phone numbers out of stunning
girls. "It was about 2am and we'd been filming ourselves chatting
up girls all night," says Will.
"We were about to head home when I saw this beautiful girl who
turned out to be Cheryl stood by the reception desk sobbing. She
was inconsolable and looked so sad I had to see if she was OK. We
found out she and her friends were some band called Girls Aloud but
none of us had ever heard of them.
"We just thought they were very cute girls who were very drunk.
We all got chatting and when Nicola asked if we wanted to go up to
Cheryl's room I just looked at Kenny and said, ‘Let's roll with
it'."
Cheryl went up first with the band's hairdresser. Will, Kenny
and their cameraman followed in the lift with Nicola, 22, and
26-year-old Kimberley. "When we got to the room the girls went
inside but the hairdresser stopped us at the door and asked me,
‘Are you a believer?'
"I could see behind her Cheryl was sitting alone on the bed
crying. So I quoted from the Bible, Psalm 30 Verse 5: ‘Weeping may
endure for the night but joy comes in the morning'.
"The hairdresser looked at Cheryl as if to say, ‘Is it OK?' and
she gave her the nod. We asked if it was OK to film and they
agreed. "Cheryl was sat with tissues in her hand. I asked her, ‘You
OK?' and she was like, ‘Yeah, you know'. The hairdresser came over
and told me what was up. I had no idea who Ashley Cole was."
Distraught Cheryl has been in turmoil since her two-year
marriage to Ashley, 27, was left in tatters when it was revealed he
had bedded single mum Aimee after downing vodka cocktails.
Since the revelation neither Cheryl nor Ashley has worn a
wedding ring. And photos of her in Thailand—and others taken
since—showed her looking gaunt and sad. But Will tried his best to
cheer her up. "I told her, ‘I don't know what's going on but it
will be all right. I can feel you have good energy, so let's have a
good time tonight'.
"I even invited her to come to church with us the next morning.
I was trying to get her to smile and it seemed to work. "Soon
enough we were talking about all sorts of things like music, books,
movies and sport. I sang a gospel song for her and then Cheryl and
Nicola sang for me."

The video also shows Kimberley—whose boyfriend is Triple 8
singer Justin Scott—getting friendly with Kenny. She throws her
arms around him and tells the cameraman: "When you come (to
England) you better tell us you're there because we can show you a
good night out."
Kenny says: "Kimberley was warm and friendly. There seemed to be
a little flirting going on but I have a girlfriend."
Church
At one point Nicola joins the girls on the bed just as Cheryl
kisses Will and the girls shout, ‘Girls Aloud! PLP! (Parking Lot
Pimps)' before getting up and dancing wildly to the background
music.
Will says: "They were just having a great time and partying like
mad." The party ended at 4am after Cheryl's hairdresser insisted
that the star got some sleep. "Nicola and Kimberley invited us back
to their room but we told them we had to go to church in the
morning," says Will.
Now Will has a message for Ashley, who looked embarrassed and
uncomfortable as he watched Cheryl perform with Girls Aloud at
London's 02 Arena on Friday night ahead of his appearance in the
Champions League Final against Man United on Wednesday.
"If I could say one thing to him it would be, ‘Tighten up your
game because you've got one hell of a great girl who will not be
hanging round for you for long'. "If I was her husband I wouldn't
be looking at any other women. He must be mad."
