Flight For This Love:

Cheryl Cole jets off

to LA after feisty

Brits performance

(but what’s that ring on

her wedding finger?)

__Part ONE of TWO

Cheryl Cole is leaving cheating

husband Ashley to sweat it out

a bit longer as she jetted out

of London alone this morning

bound for Los Angeles.

.

.

The singer,

who is livid with the Chelsea star

over claims he cheated on her with

a blonde secretary,

made a clear statement that her music

came first by pressing ahead with

a scheduled week-long recording and

writing session for her solo work.

.

.

Rather than staying in the UK to

talk through her marital problems –

as many in her position would –

career-driven Cheryl left Ashley holed

up at their Surrey mansion recovering

from a broken ankle.

.

.

Her transatlantic trip comes less than

12 hours after she put on a hard-faced

performance at the Brit Awards,

without her wedding ring, which she

banned her husband from attending.

Today the singer was again minus her

£160,000 diamond wedding band and

wore a blinged-up gold one in its place.

.

.

Perhaps it was a gift from Ashley,

who bought her a new wedding ring

back in 2007 –

worth double the price of the first –

after he allegedly cheated on her

with hairdresser Aimee Walton.

.

.

A spokesman for the singer

told Mail Online today:

‘Cheryl Cole is going to America

for writing and recording sessions.

This is a session that was

scheduled last month.

She is away for a week.

We have no further

comment to make.’

.

.

There is also speculation the

26-year-old X Factor judge could

be visiting Victoria Beckham who

has offered Cheryl her support

having herself faced claims husband

David Beckham cheated on her

with Rebecca Loos back in 2004.

.

.

While Cheryl has maintained a

dignified silence over her husband’s

indiscretion last night she made her

feelings clear during a centrepiece

Brits performance –

by not wearing her wedding ring.

.

.

And in the circumstances,

most fans would forgive her awful

lip-synching which at times was

quite clearly out of time with the lyrics.

After arriving on stage to a

standing ovation and the biggest

cheer of the night,

she stared directly at a camera,

contorted her face and belted

out the lyrics

‘We’ve got to fight for this love’.

.

.

And during her performance fans

in the crowd were heard shouting

‘dump him, dump him’.

It was a stark message to her husband

Ashley who she had banned from the

glittering ceremony after it was alleged

that he had cheated on her with

a blonde secretary.

.

.

Girls Aloud bandmates Nicola Roberts

and Kimberley Walsh certainly were

on hand to support as they cheered

from the sidelines alongside

her mother Joan.

.

.

Waving her ringless

wedding finger around,

the singer performed a high-energy

dance routine with two costume

changes from a white gold trimmed

mac to a black sequined

bodice and hoodie.

.

.

In the middle of the performance

the 1993 dance anthem Show Me Love

was mixed with her track for

a brief interlude,

before Cheryl emerged again

in her second outfit.
