Chelsea superstar Ashley Cole has hired an ex-SAS bodyguard to protect him from hordes of wannabe WAGs who throw themselves at him everywhere he goes, according to the Daily Star.
The newspaper reports that the 30-year-old is paying his new minder £1,000-a-day to keep the girls at bay so that Cole can focus on trying to win back his estranged wife Cheryl.
The player was widely vilified after it emerged he had been cheating on his singer and talent show judge spouse, and the minder will also be tasked with keeping critical Cheryl Cole fans at bay.
But he is just as focused on using the minder to steer him away from sexual encounters with groupies, for fear that a kiss-and-tell in the papers would de-rail his flowers-and-texts campaign to win his former love back.
"Ashley does have problems getting mobbed by autograph hunters and Cheryl fans furious at the way he treated her," a friend of the Blues defender told the tabloid.
"But one of the main reasons he has a new minder is because he knows he needs protection from predatory girls -- and to be saved from himself.
"He knows that if he's let loose on fans on his own he might repeat his same old mistakes.
"And he doesn't want to be exposed in kiss-and-tells that will mess things up for good with Cheryl.
"He thinks it's a good investment if it keeps him on the straight and narrow."
