ASHLEY COLE is being ribbed by team-mates after bisexual BLACK EYED PEAS star FERGIE quipped that she might bed his estranged wife CHERYL. JOHN TERRY, DIDIER DROGBA and FRANK LAMPARD have been among those teasing the Chelsea defender with jibes like "You've turned your wife gay".
And they have laughed that Ashley, 29 - dumped by Cheryl over his cheating - might have missed out on a threesome, telling him: "You could have been in the middle of that!"
A source said: "There's been a lot of banter flying around at training.
Tease ... Frank Lampard
"Everyone gets their fair share of ribbing, but this is really getting to Ashley. He can't see the joke."
The taunts began after The Sun told on Thursday how sexy Fergie, 35, is winding up bandmate WILL.I.AM, also 35, about his crush on Cheryl. The GIRLS ALOUD star is supporting the US band on tour and appears with them in Birmingham tonight.
Fergie joked that SHE was more likely to sleep with Cheryl than Will, who sang with Cheryl at London's O2 on Thursday.
Cheryl, 26 is said to find it "hilarious". The source said: "She's had a giggle about it."
