Cheryl Cole and Ashley Cole have met at their home for the first time since the split. Was it the crisis talks that Ashley was hoping for? Or the split confirmation that Cheryl was planning?Ashley reportedly arrived at the pair's Surrey mansion on Friday hoping to win Cheryl back. But in less than an hour the footballer was out of the house and heading for a friends house with bags of his belongings. It has also been reported that Cheryl has made contact with legendary divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton, the woman who represented Sir Paul McCartney and Prince Charles, although it is not yet known whether any formal proceedings have begun. The X Factor judge has been ill in bed with bronchitis and was forced to cancel media appearances including a slot on the Jonathan Ross Show and BBC Radio One's Live Lounge last week. While plans to split the pair's assets take shape, Cheryl is concentrating on getting better so that she can continue promoting her first album 3 Words, before embarking on her first solo tour with Black Eyed Peas.
