CHERYL Cole‘s marriage is still “worth fighting for”.

The Girls Aloud beauty — whose husband Ashley Cole has been accused of sending explicit text messages to other women — gave an interview shortly before the revelations in which she admitted the couple have had problems, but refuse to give up on their union.

“If it’s worth fighting for, then fight,” she told Britain’s Hello! magazine. “And in the case of me and my husband, it’s worth it.

“Sometimes one of you makes a mistake, sometimes the other. Nevertheless, anyone who throws in the towel ends up achieving nothing.

“Let’s just say that during the first six to 12 months everything is always great. You’re totally in love and everything works by itself. Then, at some point, everyday life takes over again. I think that’s normal.”

The Fight for This Love singer — who has reportedly been advised to end her marriage by her bandmates and mother Joan Callaghan — even said she and Ashley are hoping to start a family, but admitted it won’t be in the near future.

“I’d like to start a family with Ashley,” she said. “Not this year, but I don’t want to wait forever to have children.”

Despite putting on a unified front, Cheryl is believed to have been living at the Kensington’s Baglioni Hotel in London since rumours of Ashley’s behavior emerged — although her publicist claims she is merely using the suite as a base while she is preparing for a promotional tour of Europe.
