"She has a lot of thinking to do but it's one thing after another at the moment which is very difficult for her to deal with."

Details of the 27-year-old footballer's latest alleged fling, with Aimee Walton, 22, prompted crisis talks between the Coles at their Surrey mansion at the weekend.

Earlier today it was reported that she was standing by him.

But it has now emerged that another blonde, model Brooke Healy, says she slept with Cole five months after his wedding.

It has also been claimed that a third woman, Coralie Robinson, was paid hush money of £10,000 after having sex with Cole in 2004 - the year he got engaged.

Cheryl's friend added: "She has not decided yet whether to stand by Ashley or dump him for good. There's a lot more talking that has to be done between the pair."

Cheryl, 24, had said she knew about the night her husband spent with Aimee, during which he vomited, but believed him when he said he had not had sex with her.

But it emerged today that Aimee feared she was pregnant by Cole - and was offered money to have an abortion.

His representatives told her they would do "whatever it takes" to keep her happy, but warned that he would have nothing to do with the baby.

Cole has claimed not to remember having sex with Aimee. But when he heard that she might be pregnant, he said: "Sh*t! I'm shaking. I'm sorry."

It turned out to be a false alarm, but Aimee, who taped a conversation with one of Cole's people, said she "felt sick" by the offer to have an abortion paid for.

The mother-of-one met Cole's representative at a Harvester pub in Sutton, Surrey.

During the conversation, he said Cole and Aimee were "idiots" for having unprotected sex.

He said: "The last thing I'm going to do is defend him."

According to The Sun, the representative then told her: "We would do whatever you want. Obviously he's not going to leave his wife, he's not going to get involved.

"If you wanted to terminate the pregnancy and then go on holiday with your friend, then you know that's fine.

"We would take care of that. If you want to keep the baby then we'll give you something towards it."

He added: "The best thing for Ashley is to terminate the baby, right. We'll get private, done properly. Financially, we'll take all of that."
