Sounds like Simon Cowell wasn’t the ONLY one that Cheryl Coledished about in her new autobiography!

While her first official book, Through My Eyes, left out her ex-husband's cheating ways, her recently released Cheryl: My Story is MUCH more intimate!!!

Cheryl revealed some shocking details in her memoir, including the moments after she found out her ex Ashley had been two-timing her!

After going to the clinic to get tested for STDs, the starlet confessed:

“I had to face the fact that Ashley's infidelity had been putting me at risk for a long time, and I had to put my mind at rest.”

Thankfully, Cheryl’s tests came back negative, but Ashley’s unfaithfulness left emotional wounds that took a lot of time and strength to heal.

In the moment she found out, Cheryl recalled:

“Before I knew it, I was lashing out at Ashley in every way I possibly could. I hit him in the face - I couldn't help it. I was shaking him, kicking him, scratching his face, pushing and shoving him like I was a lunatic.”

Shortly after in 2008, Cole decided to jet off to Thailand with her Girls Aloud group mates, where she admits she was “out of my head on tranquilizers” and smoking and drinking to cope.

The two ended up trying to work things out, but eventually filed for divorce.

While Cheryl admitted that she’ll always have some love for her ex, she now knows that going back to him would just lead to even more damage.

Now, Cheryl has found a new love of her life — her backup dancer, Tre Holloway!

Things seem to be going great for the couple and we can only hope for more love and happiness for Chezza!!
