The Saturdays’ record label bosses are preparing to sue editors at U.K. tabloid The Sun after they falsely linked British singer Frankie Sandford to Cheryl Cole’s estranged husband Ashley.
Sandford was alleged to have embarked on a romance with England soccer ace Ashley Cole following his split from the Fight For This Love hitmaker in February (10).
The publication claimed The Saturdays star had spent several nights at the sportsman’s home in the last few weeks.
Sandford shot down the report on Monday (04Apr10), insisting she had never even met Ashley.
She wrote on her Twitter.com page, “Really upset and angry by the story in The Sun. Can’t believe they can just print something that’s not true. I’ve never even met the man.”
Now executives at her record label Fascination have revealed they are seeking advice from lawyers about the report.
In a post on the Fascination Twitter blog on Monday, they wrote, “The story about Frankie in The Sun today is not true. She has never met him. We cannot say anymore as we are taking legal action.”
Cheryl walked out on Ashley Cole after he was alleged to have cheated on her with five different women.
Frankie Sandford has dismissed rumours that she is secretly dating Ashley Cole.
The Sun today claimed that the footballer – who split from wife Cheryl in February – was trying to keep his new relationship with The Saturdays singer under wraps.
Sandford, who was yesterday forced to shoot down suggestions that she was dating Aston Merrygold, has since taken to Twitter to refute the speculation about Ashley, writing: “Really upset and angry by the story in The Sun. Can’t believe they can just print something that’s not true. I’ve never even met the man.”
Sandford’s label Fascination Records echoed her sentiments in a similar post and is believed to be consulting lawyers over the article.
A tweet on the company’s Twitter account reads: “The story about Frankie in The Sun today is not true. She has never met him. We cannot say anymore as we are taking legal action.”
Sandford recently claimed that she has been single since she broke up with McFly star Dougie Poynter earlier this year.
Frankie is appearing on an ITV show called “The Door” … I won’t spoil about what happens but the videos will be appearing on the site shortly … stay tuned …. 😀
Warning: The program does contain scenes that younger viewers or those of a sensitive nature might find offending. Swear words are “beeped” out.
Update: Added the 4th and final part with Frankie in … enjoy!

Don’t worry boys, Saturdays star Frankie Sandford is still young, free and single!
I got to the bottom of rumors that the sexy singer has been shacked up with JLS wee-man Aston Merrygold (pictured top right) by asking the lady herself to spell out the truth.
Not only did she say reports of her “union” with hunky Aston are a load of cobblers, she also told me of her sadness following her split with McFly dish Dougie Poynter (right).
Frankie told me at the Lee Jeans launch party this week: “It’s inevitable that Aston and me do get pictured together because Rochelle is dating Marvin from JLS.
“It’s already happened with all this stuff about us dating – it’s false. It’s crap. And the stuff about me and Calum Best was crap too.
“Calum literally sent me a Tweet and that’s where that story came from.
“He’s a nice guy but I’m not going there… I’m not stupid! I’m just friends with Aston – he’s a nice guy. It can be really annoying if you’re falsely linked to other people.”
Frankie was clearly in the mood to talk and she admitted that she’s yet to get over McFly boy Dougie Poynter after their split last month.
“I didn’t think anyone would care about Dougie and I splitting up,” she revealed. “I was so surprised by the reaction to it. We are staying good friends.
“I know that’s what everyone says but I don’t bulls**t. We need time apart and that’s what we’re doing now. I needed to get away from everything so that’s why I took myself off Twitter and had a holiday.
“It’s hard enough splitting up with someone but when you’re in the public eye it’s so much harder. I had no idea and I’m learning about it. If you split up with your boyfriend, you wouldn’t then see him pictured out with other girls in the paper.
“He’s going to start dating other girls, and I’m fine with it, but I don’t want to see it and learn about it in the papers. It’s going to be hard.”
Frankie, currently in the studio with the rest of the Saturdays recording new material for a repackaged summer version of their album Wordshaker, sounds desperado for a relationship of some kind.
She told me: “I haven’t been out on any dates since we split.
“But I really want to be taken out on a date! I’m not good at the whole dating scene and I just want a boyfriend. But I don’t go out on a date for the sake of it.
“First I need there to be a spark and hint that it might turn into a relationship.”
Two out of five members of The Saturdays enjoyed the freeze booze and goody bags at the re-launch of the Lee jeans store in London’s Carnaby Street last night.
And they weren’t the only ones and we got in on the action too!
The store was full of people enjoying beer and cocktails as they browsed the stock and admired the re-vamped store through slightly blurred eyes.
Frankie and Molly came down the stairs slowly, to ensure they were seen, making their way through the crowd with some lookalike friends.
Molly exclaimed “Everyone’s turning round to look at us!” Yes love, because you’re the only slightly famous people in the joint…
Frankie was shown a denim waistcoat and the girls had their photos taken by the waiting paps, who were clearly pleased their journey to the event hadn’t been entirely wasted!
