Cheryl on 'baby-making' break

Cheryl Cole has gone on a "baby-making" holiday with her husband Ashley, snubbing a trip to Las Vegas with some of Ashley's England teammates in favour of a romantic break in the South of France.

The couple – whose marriage has overcome allegations of Ashley being unfaithful - looked relaxed and happy as they boarded a plane at Heathrow Airport yesterday, bound for Nice where they will stay on Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich's luxury yacht.
