Cheryl Fernandez-Versini 'Set To Divorce'

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is to divorce her French restaurateur husband after just 19 months of marriage, according to reports.

The singer and X-Factor judge has begun formal legal proceedings by filing paperwork which cites "unreasonable behaviour" between her and second husband Jean-Bernard, the Sun On Sunday said.

A decree nisi application is expected to be lodged in the next few weeks, the paper added.

The pair married in a small ceremony on Mustique in the Caribbean in August 2014, just three months after they met in Cannes, France.

The Sunday Mirror claimed the pair secretly split five months ago, and that she had realised they had married too soon after a whirlwind romance.

The former Girls Aloud star hinted at her unhappiness on New Year's Eve when she posted to Instagram a photograph of herself kissing her middle finger.

She wrote: "Bye 2015... you've been real!!!!! You have taught me a lot but I am happy to see the back of you!!"

Shortly after the reports of her divorce emerged she posted another picture, without a caption, of her pouting while apparently lying on a bed.

It will be Fernandez-Versini's second divorce after she and footballer Ashley Cole separated in 2010.
