Cheryl Cole reportedly wants to remove every trace of cheating husband Ashley from her life - including a tattoo tribute.
The X Factor judge had 'Mrs C' etched on the back of neck in 2007 after the couple wed a year earlier.
But after announcing her split from love rat Cole, she is believed to have told pals she wants the inking removed "as a matter of urgency."
The 26-year-old is now set to fork out £2000 for painful laser treatment to remove the unwanted scribble.
A source close to the star said: "Cheryl regrets having the tattoo done in the first place. As far as she's concerned, there's no going back and she wants to remove any trace of Ashley as soon as possible.
"She knows that having the tattoo removed will be painful. But she doesn't want to be reminded of her cheating ex every time she turns her back to the mirror.
"As soon as she has a gap in her schedule, she's going to start having the laser treatments."
The Girls Aloud star is also planning to re-release her debut album '3 Words' under her maiden name, Tweedy.
On Tuesday, the singer announced her split from Chelsea defender Cole after it emerged he had cheated on her with a string of women, including Liverpool FC secretary Vicki Gough.
The couple could be divorced before the World Cup in the summer, with Cheryl set to clinch a £22m settlement.
