‘Pregnant’ Cheryl is hacked on Instagram with vile trolls slamming boyfriend Liam Payne
The singer's account has been hacked by an unknown source
FANS of Cheryl have been left stunned after a post slamming Liam Payne appeared on her Instagram account.
On Monday, the singer's profile was hacked by an unknown source - with numerous posts appearing on her account.
The first post put up on Cheryl's account linked to a group called the Cyber Wolf Gang.
As soon as the hack occurred, Cheryl's fans desperately tried to warn Liam and her personal assistant Lily England.
It's not known yet whether the hacker has access to the former Girls Aloud star's Twitter account.
The hack occurred at 10.15am with the person behind it urging Cheryl's fans to go to Twitter and follow his account.
Offensive posts, including one which read “F*** Liam Payne”, also appeared on her account.
The hack will be worrying for Cheryl, who fans believe is expecting her first baby with her One Direction star boyfriend.
If the singer has any private messages on the photo sharing app, they could be leaked online by the perpetrator.
Over 40 minutes after her account was hacked, the posts were removed although Cheryl still appears to be following the two new accounts.
Cheryl isn't the first British celebrity to be targeted by hackers who gain access to their Instagram accounts.
The star's account also followed two people: one was a man who claims to own a business which stops Internet hacking, another was the account of someone who appears to be a young man.
In September, pregnant Stephanie Davis was at the mercy of online pranksters who took over her Instagram.
She told her followers on Twitter: “Someone keeps trying to hack my Instagram from August A LOT. Just seen on emails.. please stop it’s annoying and boring.”
Some of her 416,000 followers responded with some advice for the Celebrity Big Brother star, telling her to “up her password game” and ignore the “saddo” who is trying to log into her account.
When she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, her Wikipedia page was edited so her name read: “Stephanie Love Cheat Davis” because she was hooking up with her now ex Jeremy McConnell in the house while her then boyfriend Sam Reece watched at home.
