According to the Daily Star, the black diamond and ruby ring is said to feature a design inspired by her famous rose bum tattoo, a version of which Liam got done on his hand not so long ago.

Cheryl, who has been married twice before, turns 33 on Thursday and Liam, 22, is believed to have forked out on the gift for her big day, but could it be more than just a birthday gift.

The pair started dating back in December just a few months after her split from second husband Jean-Bernard in August.

Earlier this month, rumours about a wedding intensified when Cheryl and Liam attended his sister’s nuptials a few weeks ago and put on a loved up display as they arrived at the church in Wolverhampton.

And a source told Reveal magazine that Liam’s family were concerned that the romance wouldn’t last but added: “Cheryl has completely won them over, and now they're both convinced she could be 'The One' that Liam could finally settle down with."

The magazine also claimed that Liam's sister Ruth was even heard joking on her big day: "You'll be next," to her brother.

The source added: "Karen is now convinced Cheryl is the perfect candidate to be Liam's wife."

Even the bookies have slashed their odds over a Liam-Cheryl wedding after William Hill reduced theirs from 6-1 to 4-1.

Spokesman Joe Crilly said: “At first it looked like the relationship would struggle to see out the month.

“But the pair have confounded the doubters and a proposal may not be out of the question.”

If the rumours are indeed true, Cheryl and Liam will have to wait to get hitched as she is still married to the French businessman, who is rumoured to be playing hardball having dumped his legal team for failing to reach a financial agreement with Cheryl’s advisers.
