Cheryl and Ashley Cole at Wings Chinese restaurant in ManchesterThere's been a lot of pointed not turning up to things between Cheryl and Ashley Cole recently.

And Cheryl received another blow from her footballing husband last weekend when he refused to attend a party to celebrate the success of her debut solo single.

Cheryl had a bash planned at the Mayfair Hotel in London last Sunday when her single, Fight For Your Love went straight to number one.

But it all went pear-shaped when Ashley refused to come and a teary Cheryl cancelled the do at the last minute.

A pal told the Daily Mail: "The Cole household is not a happy one at the moment.

"Ashley has a touch of the green-eyed monster and doesn't like being in Cheryl's shadow.

"There's a lot of tension between them because Cheryl is busier and busier and she is now eclipsing Ashley's success. He's acting like a spoilt child because she's getting all the attention."

Last year there was trouble when Ashley was alleged to have had a bit of a fling with Aimee Watson and the Chelsea player was arrested earlier this year for being drunk and disorderly.

It might be easier, Cheryl, if you just didn't invite him next time, thereby being pointed before he gets a chance.

Ashley's jealousy seems a little out of place, but then celebs can always find something to moan about. Check out our gallery of celebrity whingers...
