Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole and footballing love-rat husband, Ashley, have been spotted on holiday in Puerto Banús, Marbella.

Puerto Banus is a luxury marina and shopping complex built in 1970 for the jet-set and the super rich.

According to Wikipedia

the opening of the complex was attended by, amongst others, the Aga Khan, Roman Polanski, Hugh Hefner and Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco. A youthful Julio Iglesias was contracted to sing for the guests for the enormous sum of 125,000 pesetas. An army of 300 waiters from Seville served 50 pounds of beluga caviar to the 1,700 guests.

Anyway, reports in The Sun say that Ashley "has spared no expense on the trip to impress shattered Cheryl, 24".  

The couple's trip was cloaked in secrecy and they even took separate flights from the UK.

A Spanish source said: "He booked it last-minute and didn't even bat an eyelid at the cost."

The trip is a welcome break from filming for new X Factor judge Cheryl, while Ashley is preparing to start training for the new season.

It is the latest in a string of attempts by Ashley to patch up the marriage.

He sent Cheryl balloons and flowers while she was on tour but blundered by texting her about them before they arrived.

According to Hello magazine, Sir Michael Caine and Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber jetted to Spain last week to enjoy a double birthday celebration at exclusive hotel, La Residencia, Majorca.

The magazine goes on to say:

The two men – Michael is 75 and Andrew has just turned 60 – were joined by a host of pals to mark the milestones.

As well as their stunning wives Shakira and Madeleine, friends including Sir Tim Rice, Lord Melvyn Bragg and Michael Winner jetted across to the West End composer's favourite hotel, the exclusive La Residencia, for the fun.

Reports that the bash was to cost millions were laughed off by the Any Dream Will Do judge. "If I was spending £5 million on the party as reported, I hope that I would be able to negotiate ownership of the jet and the hotel in the price," he joked.

The weekend was organised by Andrew's pretty blonde wife to say thank you to all the pals who have worked with the legendary theatre producer over the years.
