X Factor’s choreographer Brian Friedman lets slip Cheryl and Liam Payne are ‘having a baby together’ in interview
The show's creative director has worked with Cheryl for ten years
X FACTOR choreographer Brian Friedman has claimed Cheryl and Liam Payne are having a baby together – after weeks of speculation that the singer is expecting.
The creative director – who has worked with Cheryl on and off for many years while she has been on the show – said he was very happy for the couple.
Appearing to confirm the news that Cheryl herself has kept shtum about, he added: “And now they’re having a baby together, so they definitely found something great.”
Discussing their union, he continued: “It’s funny to think back how long ago it was that they first met.
“There’s something ironic in that they both came up into the industry in the same way, so they have an immediate connection. They’re in love and it works for them.”
His comments come after a new picture of Cheryl was posted this weekend as she celebrated her Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh’s birthday.
In the snap the 33-year-old is careful not to show off her stomach - sitting slightly behind the person next to her, while her arms are crossed over her body to keep her belly out of view.
The speculation surrounding Cheryl's pregnancy went into overdrive earlier this month when we exclusively revealed unseen shots of the star with what looked like a very sizeable bump.
Former One Direction hunk Liam, 23, added fuel to the fire when he hinted that he's set to wed Cheryl and then sent fans into a meltdown with explicit lyrics about her in his first solo song.
