Pennant said he was sharing his North London apartment with Cole in 2004, and that's where the two first met. "One day, Cheryl was around his place with him. The door was locked from inside. He kept the key in the lock, so no one could get in. His other girlfriend had a key and was trying to get in, calling him, going mad because she knew someone was inside. She was calling all the lads but we ignored her calls. We knew what was going on down. Inside, Cheryl and Ashley were probably other thinking: 'What's going on?'" Pennant wrote.
