Chelsea defender Cole, 30, removed the £200,000 ring after The Sun revealed his sordid fling with hairdresser Aimee Walton in 2008.

Cheryl, 27, ditched her own £150,000 sparkler.

But Cole was snapped wearing his band as he posed for photos with fans after an England training session at London Colney, Herts.

He also wore it as he left West London's Chinawhite club. A friend said: "It's his way of saying to Cheryl that she is his only true love and he thinks they are close to getting back together.

"Ash is convinced they have a future once again as man and wife."

Devastated Cheryl has gone into hiding since Simon Cowell dropped her from the US X Factor and she refused to reprise her role as a judge in the British version.
