Their marriage was over quicker than you could say ‘Cheryl Fernandez-Versini’.
But while Cheryl and her French ex Jean-Bernard may not have lasted long, he’s apparently still hot property to TV bosses eager for gossip on her.
The only problem is, while JBFV may be inundated with offers to appear on television shows, he’s pretty reluctant.
