Online bingo forums focus on Cheryl
Online bingo forums across the UK have been dominated by one subject this week.
Cheryl Cole, the much put-upon X Factor judge, has separated from Ashley Cole.
It seems the 26-year-old has finally called time on her marriage after nearly two years of negative publicity concerning the Chelsea and England footballer's alleged infidelities.
However, a glance at the bingo balls suggests all is not lost for the Girls Aloud star.
What do we mean?
Good omens in the bingo balls
Well, Cheryl Cole separated from her husband on the 23rd of the month, which appropriately enough is dubbed 'Thee and Me' by British bingo callers.
February is month number two, or 'One Little Duck', and most online bingo fans think the diminutive 5'3" singer was quack-ers to wait so long.
However, perhaps she can count on the support of friends in high places because Cheryl took the plunge in 2010, or 'Gordon's Den'.
You may remember that she sneaked into 10 Downing Street for the Girls Aloud video 'Jump', but what probably escaped your notice was that she actually visited Gordon Brown as part of Comic Relief last year.
Could our prime minister show support for Cheryl again?
Unlocking the door to America
What's more, it's probably fair to say that Girls Aloud are looking a bit fragile at the moment they're on a year-long hiatus after single number 21, became the first not to chart in the top ten.
However, pop moguls have already suggested that sympathy for Cheryl could finally help her break the States you could almost say it's her 21, or the 'Key of the Door'.
Finally, she will perhaps be buoyed by a recent survey from MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk, which found that 34 per cent of women would swap their partner in exchange for Cheryl's wardrobe.
Seems like Cheryl won't be short of suitors when she decides to 34, or 'ask for more'.
