She looked sad and drawn - and wasn't wearing her wedding ring - as she left LA last night with bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts. Cheryl is putting off crisis talks with her husband for 24 hours so she can enjoy herself at tonight's ceremony, where Girls Aloud are up for best group.

A source close to the singer told London Lite: "Cheryl lands this afternoon and is heading straight to her hotel. She won't be going back to her and Ashley's Surrey home at all. She can't face a showdown with him ahead of one of the biggest nights in her band's career.

"This is the first time the girls have been nominated for a Brit Award and they intend to enjoy their night. They are planning to get ready together and have a big girly blowout.

"Cheryl is on top form after her break in Thailand and LA and has no intention of letting reports of Ashley's infidelities ruin her night."

Ashley, who cheated on Cheryl with a hairdresser, has been in Greece with the rest of the Chelsea squad for last night's 0-0 draw with Olympiakos. He's due home this afternoon, and isn't yet aware that Cheryl won't be coming home.

We're told: "Ashley is desperate to win Cheryl back. He's been begging her to talk to him as soon as possible to try to save their marriage. It'll be a huge blow to him when he finds out she's checking into a hotel and has no plans to talk to him."
