Are these the pictures that prove Cheryl is expecting her first child with Liam Payne?
These previously unseen shots of the star show her with what looks like a very sizeable bump underneath her oversized jumper
CHERYL treats fans to a Halloween trick yesterday, pulling off an amazing transformation in just a few hours.
The star, 33, showed no sign of a bump in afternoon snaps from a London perfume launch. But by the evening it looked like her tum had grown.
Singer Cheryl looked to be hiding a Halloween pumpkin under her top as she stepped from a hotel yesterday.
Either that, or something uncanny had gone on in the hours between her being snapped at an afternoon perfume launch and the moment she left.
The former X Factor judge, 33. looked like her old slimline self in official photos from the Press-free event.
But as she made her way from London’s Sanderson Hotel in the evening she looked distinctly more shapely in her cashmere tracksuit with slippers by fashion brand Chloe.
The Sun’s exclusive pictures are the clearest indication yet that there could be substance to pregnancy rumours which have surrounded the Geordie star over the past few months.
A source said: “Cheryl looks like two different people in the snaps. Those from the launch are head-on, with no hint of any views from the side.
“Her outfit could also have been specially chosen to disguise any trace of a bump.
“The roped-belt on her tailored trouser suit sits above and naturally accentuates her tummy. It’s clever tactics and perhaps indicates why no photographers other than her own were allowed in the launch.”
Cheryl, debuting her Stormflower Platinum scent, sparked tot rumours by sporting a fuller face in an ad last month.
Her 1D boyfriend Liam Payne, 23, changed his Twitter bio to “Luckiest man in the world”.
Fans who queued to see Cheryl yesterday raved about her “glowing” appearance.
