Ashley Cole has reportedly called in lawyers in an effort to force his ex-wife Cheryl out of their marital home.
As part of the couple’s divorce settlement the Chelsea footballer is keeping the £6million mansion.
However, Ashley is currently sharing a flat with a pal and has allegedly become impatient to move back into his home.
The X Factor judge has confirmed that she will vacate the Surrey mansion at the end of next month.
A friend of the Chelsea defender told The People: “Ashley has made no secret of his wish to move back into the house and he was becoming increasingly frustrated about the delay.
“Ashley realised Cheryl had spent a lot of time in Los Angeles recently and is now busy with X Factor but he decided to try and force the issue a little.
“He is relieved to learn his lawyer has received an assurance that Cheryl will move out at the end of next month.”
When the Girls Aloud singer has been in the UK in recent months she has lived at the house with her mum Joan Callaghan.
