Cheryl Cole has fuelled new rumours that her marriage is in trouble again by taking off her wedding ring.
'X Factor' fans noticed the telly judge’s left hand had been bare for two weeks running.
Girls Aloud diva Cheryl famously removed her wedding ring last year after claims footballer Ashley, 28, had cheated on her.
The England defender bought her a new ring, which she donned eight months after the scandal emerged.
But the 26-year-old has denied her marriage is on the rocks, with her spokesman saying: "Cheryl sometimes does not wear her wedding ring while working. Cheryl and Ashley are very happily married."
The ring riddle comes after a flurry of speculation about the couple’s relationship. The Daily Star reports that fears for their marriage grew after Ashley left his wife to party with pals after she sang on 'The X Factor'.
She later reportedly cancelled a party to celebrate the success of her No 1 debut single when the injured footballer pulled out.
