Playboy bunny Melissa Howe bedded with Ashley Cole - as ex-wife Cheryl was thinking back

London: A Playboy bunny was being bedded by Ashley Cole — just as ex-wife Cheryl was rumoured to be thinking of taking the love rat back, The Sun can reveal.

According to the Sun.co.uk report, Busty redhead Melissa Howe, 22, told last night how she was repeatedly whisked to the soccer ace’s mansion for romps, saying: “We had sex all over the house.”

They made love in the bed he used to share with the pop babe, 29 — who had dumped him after The Sun exposed a string of affairs.

Flame-haired Melissa said Cole, 32, would send his chauffeur to sneakily fetch her to the couple’s marital home — and it was made clear she should not breathe a word.

The 32DD beauty said: “The driver said it was incredibly secretive — and I was told I could not tell anyone where I was or what I was doing.”

At the time rumours were raging that Girls Aloud singer Cheryl was considering a reconciliation with the Chelsea superstar — as the former X Factor judge searched her heart to forgive his cheating.
