Cheryl Cole wins Derek Hough's 'blessing' on Ashley reconciliation

London, July 11 : Cheryl Cole’s ex-boyfriend Derek Hough has given his “blessings” and support to her, as she plans to reconcile with love rat Ashley.

The 28-year-old singer spent two evenings with the 26-year-old dancer, after arriving in Los Angeles last week with ‘Girls Aloud’ bandmate Kimberley Walsh.

“Derek and Cheryl spent a lot of time going out clubbing,” the Sun quoted a source as saying.

“It was awkward at first but they made peace.

“Derek said he wants her to be happy and if that means getting back with her ex she has his blessing,” the source added.
