Chelsea fullback Ashley Cole has launched a foul-mouthed rant at reporters admitting his life is ruined after his marriage split.
The Daily Mail says Cole, in France recovering from an ankle injury, broke his silence after X Factor beauty Cheryl dumped him over his affairs and sex texts.
Cole, 29, emerged on to the balcony of his room at a clinic near Biarritz after friends said he had been constantly texting and calling his wife to beg for a reconciliation.
Asked about their separation, he shouted: "**** off! Why doesn't everyone just leave me alone? Just **** off, my life has been ruined."
There was no sign of his wedding ring and the former Arsenal star has grown a beard.
Cole also moaned: "I'm meant to be here for treatment."
