Is Cheryl pregnant? As rumours build here are the signs the singer could be pregnant with her first baby
The signs that are sending the rumour mill into overdrive
The internet is rife with rumours that the nation’s sweetheart Cheryl is now expecting a mini-me with her One Direction beau Liam Payne.
Excited fans have cited her fuller-faced look as a potential sign that she is pregnant, with her recent appearance on The One Show adding fuel to the fire.
The rumour mill began back in September when fans noticed a fuller looking Cheryl filming the new L'Oreal advert, so what are the signs she may be expecting?
A change in clothing
Although Cheryl may not have a fully grown bump, it's likely that those jeans have gotten tighter.
Many women attempt to cover up any initial tummy swelling by switching their tight fitting tops for looser cuts.
Cheryl was spotted wearing baggier clothes than usual following her perfume launch, perhaps to hide her supposed bump.
That 'glowing' look
Fans who met Cheryl at her recent perfume launch claimed the singer looked 'glowing'. She also reportedly dodged photo opportunities by sitting behind a table and having her own photographer take official snaps.
Following her recent appearance on The One Show, there has been plenty of speculation that the star is expecting due to her fuller look.
Cheryl appeared on the show to speak about her newly appointed role as ambassador for Childline, she said she could “completely relate to how [the children] are feeling.
“Newcastle is my heart, it’s where I’m from. I want to help young people, the next generation, to have hope, have opportunity. I have a centre that is going to help 4000 people per year.”
Keeping a low profile
Fans started speculating something may have been wrong with Cheryl when she took a 32 day social media hiatus earlier this year.
The star went offline for just over a month, prompting fans to worry about the singer.
Following her return, Cheryl was forced to turn off the commenting feature on her photos, due to being spammed with comments about her alleged pregnancy.
Cheryl also failed to appear at the recent Pride of Britain awards, an event that is regularly pencilled into the star's diary.
She let fans know on Twitter that she was gutted not to be attending the ceremony.
When questioned by about Cheryl's private life, former bandmate and close friend Kimberly Walsh said: “It’s not that I’m not allowed [to talk about it].
“It’s just that she’s my best friend. I don’t want to talk about her … anyway.”
Preparing for a new arrival?
Fans of Cheryl and One Direction star Liam Payne were sent into a frenzy earlier this year when her mother was spotted shopping for pregnancy goods in Mothercare.
Joan Callaghan was pictured purchasing two types of pregnancy pillow in late September.
An eyewitness who was also in the queue told The Sun Online: “She had a massive pregnancy pillow which helps make your bump more comfortable when you’re trying to sleep.
