X Factor stars Reggie and Bollie had no idea their ‘boss’ was expecting her first baby, despite speaking to her ‘all the time’

CHERYL has been keeping mum about her pregnancy for months but it appears she’s been so secretive even some of her close pals didn’t know.

X Factor stars Reggie and Bollie say they chat to their former mentor "all the time" but Cheryl hasn’t mentioned her pregnancy once, despite her baby being due next month.

The singer has remained focused on her charity work while preparing for the arrival of her first baby with her boyfriend Liam Payne.

But Cheryl's former X Factor protégés - who last spoke to her at Christmas - were stunned when they found out the news, with Reggie telling The Sun Online: “We don’t know if she’s having a baby! Really? She’s shown her bump? We had no idea!

“She’s not told us she’s having a baby but I suppose we haven’t asked. We speak to her all the time, she is so supportive.

“We see her as our boss. We were speaking with her over Christmas and were meant to be meeting up but we had to go away.”

The singing duo, who made it into the final of the competition in 2015 before losing out to Louisa Johnson, are now keen to set up a play date with their children.

Reggie continued: “If she is going to have a baby, we love her and Liam so much, they will be great parents.

“We’d do play dates with our kids, that would be more than nice.”

Since leaving The X Factor, the singing duo have been working hard on new music after being dropped by Simon Cowell’s record label Syco.

But moving away from Simon didn't appear to have a negative effect on the pair, with Bollie confirming they're happy now than before.

Speaking at the Disney On Ice Mouse Bounce launch, he explained: “We have recorded the album and we’re getting ready to release our first single.

“The best thing is that we’re independent now, being away from a major label means we’ve got our freedom back.

“It’s very important, especially for the type of music we’re doing – it’s got to be just right.

“We’ve been working with a writer who’s worked with Beyonce and loads of other major names.

“It’s been a really good mix, people from pop and reggae, it’s been incredible.”
