Cheryl fans uncover the ‘real reason’ she pulled out of 2:22 A Ghost Story

CHERYL fans think they've worked out the real reason she pulled out of 2:22 A Ghost Story.

Yesterday the West End show confirmed Cheryl, 39, would not be appearing but didn't go into detail.

But some fans are convinced it's because her son Bear - who she shares with One Direction singer Liam Payne - turns six later this week.

Commenting on the announcement on Twitter, one person wrote: "I’m glad she is taking the day off and I bet she will be taking Bear’s birthday off as well (unless she decided to do his birthday in combo with Mother’s Day)."

Another said: "I specifically avoided this week as it's Mother's Day and Bear's birthday, didn't want to risk it!"

And, predicting that Cheryl could be set to take another day off this week, a third added: "I didn’t even think about it being Bear's birthday on 22nd March and I’ve already booked 2.22. What are the chances that Cheryl will still do the show?"

More on Cheryl

The Girls Aloud singer been busy playing the lead role of Jenny in the stage production since February.

And it seems she's firmly focusing on an acting career now as she's revealed plans to star in a "gritty drama".

Appearing on The One Show, she said: "When I went to see 2:22 I just knew that it felt right for me and that I would feel comfortable in that role.

"I think [my next role] would have to be something that gave me that same feeling where it just feels right.

She added: "Maybe a drama or something gritty.”
