Nicola and fellow Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh - who have both been spotted out and about recently attending London Fashion Week - rushed to Cheryl's side to comfort the heartbroken star.
This comes following revelations yesterday that Ashley blames Cheryl's mum for the breakdown of their marriage.

Some sources say Ashley is only trying to offload blame and paint a picture of an unstable marriage as the threat of a divorce looms, while others claim the footballer was genuinely unhappy with the arrangement.
'Cheryl and Ashley barely saw each other in the last few months,' one insider revealed.
'And when they were both at home Cheryl would stay up watching TV with her mum while he went to bed. It's a bit of a passion killer to have your mum in the house.'
And with Joan still comforting Cheryl at her Surrey home, it seems other members of the couple's family are now intent on getting involved.
While Ashley's father supports Cheryl's decision to split - commenting: 'Nobody can blame Cheryl for giving Ashley the boot. He's made her look a mug,' - it's been reported his mother Susan has been phoning Cheryl on her son's behalf, urging her to reconsider.
But it might not be long before we hear Cheryl's side of the story.
Reports suggest she has been booked to appear on Jonathan Ross's Friday night chat show some time in March.
