“She’d love nothing more than to have her say, but she knows it never comes out that way. For Cheryl, the 14-year-old thing is so twisted, and infuriating – she was married to [first husband] Ashley [Cole] at the time, and there was absolutely no link with Liam there at all. When they finally did get together, that’s a different story and she never thought about the ten-year age gap.”
