CHERYL Tweedy fans were left open-mouthed as the singer surprised them with her outfit choice for her Michael McIntyre’s Big Show performance on Saturday night.
The pop star, 35, appeared on the BBC One programme to perform her latest single Love Made Me Do It.
The former Girls Aloud band member wore a short leather jacket which she teamed with a matching skirt and thigh-high baggy grey boots.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: “Does Cheryl have anything on under that top? What is she actually wearing?! #michaelmcintyresbigshow.”
Another tweeted: “Oh dear Cheryl looks like she’s lost the other part of her pantomime horse #michaelmcintyresbigshow.”
Commenting on her footwear, someone else wrote: “What the hell does Cheryl whateverhernameisnow have on her legs? Jesus Christ. #michaelmcintyresbigshow.”
And one other member of the audience at home remarked: “WHAT does Cheryl look like in those boots! #michaelmcintyre.”
Meanwhile, Cheryl's ex Liam Payne reportedly wants Cheryl to pursue a career as a music manager after her comeback single flopped.
The 25-year-old dad met his son Bear's mother when she was a judge on The X Factor, and witnessed her guide young pop stars to success on the ITV show.
It has since been claimed he suggested she would do well as a music manager, with a source telling : "His advice was that if she didn't want to carry on performing, she should go into music management."
The insider added: "Liam has told her to ignore the haters and focus on the people who love her.
"He's told her not to give up and that together they can try again."
However, Cheryl, 35, is determined to cling on to her career as a pop star.
The Sun Online has contacted Liam Payne's rep for a comment.
