Confessions: A visibly upset Cheryl Cole leaving the ITV studios last night after filming an emotional interview with Piers MorganX Factor judge reveals she wrote a deathbed will while battling malaria
Cheryl Cole broke down during a television interview as she spoke about her failed marriage and battle with malaria.
The X Factor judge told Piers Morgan that her split from England footballer Ashley Cole had left her heartbroken, but she insisted she will ‘always love’ him.
The 27-year-old told Morgan's ITV1 show Life Stories last night that she was at a loss to explain why the relationship had collapsed.
Miss Cole, 27, revealed she still regularly speaks to him, despite his infidelity during their three-and-a-half year marriage. She was granted a divorce in September.
The singer was in tears as she said she still believed he was ‘a genuinely nice guy’, adding: ‘Once we get over this obstacle, I hope we can be friends again. A part of me will always love Ashley.’
She explained: 'Looking back on it, I feel numb. We had a great marriage and a fantastic wedding day but I don't know where it went wrong.
'To this day I still question that.'
Miss Cole also revealed that she wrote a will after doctors told her she was on the brink of death with malaria.
'A genuinely nice guy': Cheryl says she is still in touch with her ex husband Ashley and hopes they will eventually be good friendsThe X Factor star said she had been given just 24 hours to live as she fought the illness in hospital.
Newcastle-born Miss Cole had to miss the ‘boot camp’ stage of the current series of X Factor after falling ill with malaria in July. She was only fit enough to return once the live shows began last weekend.
Miss Cole was joined by her mother Joan and Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts, who all wept during the interview as she discussed her battle against the disease.
Doctors had told the star she was close to death after she contracted the illness during a trip to Tanzania.
She admitted drinking three vodkas the night before a photoshoot which left her feeling like she had ‘the worst hangover’.
It turned out to be the start of her struggle with the illness.
