London, Oct 24 Professional football player Ashley Cole is said to be eager to make up to his wife Cheryl after leaving her following her first ever-live performance on the X Factor show.

Cole, 28, is planning a huge party for Cheryl, 26, on October 25 when she is set to hit No 1 with her debut solo single.

"I helped Cheryl with her nerves before her X Factor appearance, it was really exciting. I think she looked beautiful and I was very proud of her," the Daily Star quoted him as saying.

He also revealed that he is planning a big party if 'Fight For This Love' tops the charts as predicted.

But it may not be that easy to win over Cheryl, who had earlier this week stayed away from the premiere of his big film 'Dead Man Running', co-produced with Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand, 30.

"They are in such different places. It's clear her career is becoming very important to her," a close pal said. It must be keeping her sane and giving her something to focus on. Cheryl is incredibly ambitious," the friend added. (ANI)
