The footballer is now claiming he was "too drunk" to recall bedding Aimee Walton. Yeeeeaaaah, the "ooooh, but I don't remember so it didn't happen" excuse doesn't quite cut it in the world of adultery, Ashley, it doesn't usually wash with the wives. It generally says "me basic animal, me invade anything with pulse, no one special" and "other incidents I 'don't remember' are likely." The one involving "glamour model" Brooke Healy is a fine example. She's alleging the Chelsea player picked her up in London's Funky Buddah club a whole five months after he married Cheryl. According to The Sun: "Brooke has claimed that, three weeks later (after the action), she accepted a payment of £6,300 from a friend of Ashley, who ordered her to keep quiet about her night with the footballer." My, he keeps his friends busy - "tell that one I want them to come home with me, clean my vomit off your bedroom floor and pay that other one off" - lord it must be never ending! Brooke told the Sunday Mirror: "I didn't feel right about the situation, but what could I do? (eh, not sleep with a married man in the first place). The majority of London's West End scene knows about Ashley and they know what he gets up to and that he's not faithful to Cheryl. I feel bad for her because she married somebody who isn't faithful." And you really helped matters there. Meanwhile, Aimee Walton initially feared she may have been impregnated by the selfish ignormaous - thus clearing up the whole question mark over the use of protection. Thankfully it's since transpired that a child will not be added to the equation. Aimee was unsurprisingly quick to give tapes to The Sun which feature one of Ashley's "friends" informing her that, if she was pregnant, the hound would pay for an termination. How chivalrous. Some STD's aren't so easily cast aside though, Ashley, and it's mighty hard to win favour with the wife if you've given her a case of the clap.
