Chelsea full-back Ashley Cole has reportedly changed his mobile number in an attempt to distance himself from former lovers.

The England international was accused of cheating on wife Cheryl Cole during their relationship, which eventually led to the couple's divorce.

It is believed that the 32-year-old has decided to get a new mobile phone number as he wants to have a real relationship as opposed to getting "another notch on his bedpost", according to the Daily Star.

Cole is currently on holiday in Los Angeles.
