Cheryl Cole can't stomach food following the revelations husband Ashley cheated on her, it has been claimed.

The Girls Aloud beauty - who was left devastated by claims the soccer star had slept with three other women - has seen her weight plummet to a worrying seven stone but is said to be so anxious about the state of her marriage that she can't eat.

A source said: "She's not eating enough - sometimes as little as one meal a day - and it could be as small as a rocket and tomato salads, a small piece of tuna or two hard-boiled eggs.

"She drinks two litres of water a day, plus peppermint tea and coffee, which keeps her filled up, but her stomach has shrunk, so she gets cramps when she does eat. Her friends are so worried."

Friends say while Ashley is concerned about his wife's health, the issue is causing more arguments between the warring couple.

One friend said: "He asks her how much she's eaten, but Cheryl snipes back, saying things like, 'You've already proven how little you care.'

"Their relationship is worse than ever - there's so much blame and anger."

Although Cheryl has reportedly given Ashley another chance, she has not been seen wearing her wedding ring since the stories came out in January.
