Introduction
Cheryl and Ashley Cole – until recently – were one of the UK’s favourite couples. In the ‘Posh & Becks’ mould, the chart-topping singer and England footballer seemed to be the perfect match. However, in 2010 it all ended in bitter arguments and reports of a planned divorce.
This book looks into the world of the beautiful people, and asks the question ‘where did it all go wrong?’
Did the media contribute to the demise of Cheryl and Ashley’s perfect marriage, or was it a troubled relationship, doomed from the start?
As with any professional analysis, we should start at the beginning…
Chapter 1
Humble Beginnings
Cheryl Tweedy
Cheryl Ann Tweedy was born and grew up in poverty on a council estate in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The fourth of five children to mother Joan Callaghan, and the eldest child of Gary Tweedy, Cheryl’s path to fame started at the youngest possible age, winning Boots’ ‘Bonniest Baby’ competition. Her looks were recognised a multitude of times, with Cheryl also winning Mothercare’s ‘Happy Faces’ portrait competition, The Evening Chronicle’s ‘Little Miss and Mister’ contest, ‘Most Attractive Girl’ at the Metrocentre, and an award entitled ‘Best Looking Girl of Newcastle’.
However, Cheryl’s upbringing had a sadder side. Her parents (who never married) split up when she was just 11 – possibly one of the hardest ages at which to cope with such family trauma. At this time she had already shown a major interest in dancing, having won a place the Royal Ballet’s summer school when she was nine. Unfortunately, despite having beaten over 5000 hopefuls for the position, Cheryl was unhappy – mercilessly bullied by a gaggle of stuck-up posh girls who shunned her because of her clothes and parents’ financial woes.
Although she had model looks, she did not demonstrate model behaviour. Whilst attending the Walker Comprehensive School Cheryl was suspended twice – once for swearing on a bus, and once for fighting with another pupil. Never destined for a career in academia, she left school at 16 with few qualifications.
Poverty and crime often go hand-in-hand, and this was to demonstrate itself in Cheryl’s life as well. Her half-brother Andrew spent four years in prison for grievous bodily harm.
It is a repeated pattern that like many children who grow up in poorer areas and have a difficult family background, they turn to an art-form or hobby, and show greater dedication to this than their school studies.
