Ashley Cole parties into the early hours - minus his new Hollyoaks 'girlfriend'

The England footballer continues his party lifestyle

Ashley Cole was divorced from Cheryl Cole in September

Ashley Cole does love to go clubbing.

The soccer star - whose marriage to Cheryl Cole, 27, officially came to an end in September - partied with teammates Carlton Cole, 27, and Shaun Wright-Phillips, 29, at Boujis in Kensington last night, before heading to the West End's Jet Black.

The lads' night out ended in a tired-looking Ashley, 30, heading home in a cab just before sunrise.

There was no sign of up-and-coming Hollyoaks actress Annie Cooper, 27 - who's rumoured to be the Chelsea footballer's new squeeze.�

Ashley and Annie - who plays a wannabe WAG in the Liverpool soap - were seen walking hand-in-hand through Whisky Mist last weekend.

'Ashley was enjoying being single but was taken by Annie after a friend introduced them,' an insider tells The Sun.

'He didn't want it all coming out as it's early days.

'He wanted to be confident Annie could handle the attention.'
