I just think there's going to be a whole hoo Haa anyways (1d fans/chezza haters etc) so why not do it sooner then by the time the baby comes it will be old news?

"who is she?"

she was in a girl band, the name of which escapes me, she married a gay footballer and got divorced, she was a judge on the X factor. she was extremely pretty.

Those pics look photo shopped. The face and neck look mismatched :/

RebootYourEngine · 28/10/2016 22:47

That photo does not look real. So what if she is? Its like when adele had her child and didnt release the name (still hasnt comfirmed it i dont think) she was called all sorts of names. Its no ones business.

ReturnoftheWhack · 28/10/2016 22:47

User - she WAS extremely pretty?!

She is extremely beautiful.

DownWithThisSortaThing · 28/10/2016 22:47

What does it matter? She could have had several pregnancies and miscarriages for all anybody knows. She's a public figure but that doesn't mean every single aspect of her life has to be public.
I know Beyonce had a miscarriage before she had her daughter and that's why she kept her pregnancy quiet for several months. Everyone will find out either way within a few months as she will either have a baby with her or she won't. Not sure why people need to know the second a celebrity has conceived.

2kids2dogsnosense · 28/10/2016 22:47

Perhaps she's just incubating a huge fart in this photo?

Either way - her business. No-one else's.

MissMoo22 · 28/10/2016 22:47

Those pics look like her face has been stuck onto pics of someone else.

But I do believe she is pregnant. I don't think the 1D fans will react too badly to this one because I think they might like Cheryl so might not be too harsh on her.

user1477427207 · 28/10/2016 22:48

yes she is lovely looking sorry I should not have used past tense.
It was a shame when she got really skinny though, she is so bonny.

wobblywonderwoman · 28/10/2016 22:48

That's not her at all

HappyAxolotl · 28/10/2016 22:49

Because maybe she isn't and has an illness that is bloating her? And the more you deny preg rumours the more they fly. (Personal experience of severe IBS here.)

Maybe she or immediate relatives have a history of pregnancy loss?

Because maybe a baby is one tiny area of her life she does want to keep private?

Because maybe it isn't Liam's and she's not going to tell what's going on? (The people who are most interested in her potential pregnancy will have heard the rumour going round for years so I'm not repeating it here.)

DoYouRememberJustinBobby · 28/10/2016 22:51

I feel really bad she is expected to announce to the public the contents of her uterus.

Well she is happy for the public attention to fund her finances. The public who buy her records, buy magazines she puts interviews in, watches shows she is paid to appear in

I am so shocked by this. I thought she was married to a French restaurant owner.

RebootYourEngine · 28/10/2016 22:54

That sun article reads like it was written by a child. They couldnt even get her mums name right.

The close up pics look doctored but the ones further away look more like her and she does look about 3 or 4 months pregnant.

PabloEscobarReallyLovesHisKids · 28/10/2016 22:55

Why didn't her mum order the pregnancy pillow from Amazon?
They must want some media attention.

DownWithThisSortaThing · 28/10/2016 22:57

Why does any of that mean she must announce a pregnancy?

DoYouRememberJustinBobby · 28/10/2016 22:57

I don't think public figures owe people the details or even confirmation of their pregnancies because they have sought publicity for other aspects of their lives. Warped logic.

HappyAxolotl · 28/10/2016 22:59

When people have been ill and got very thin often any regained weight goes on the stomach. Cheryl was extremely thin a little while ago. See in that Sun article she looks pregnant in a few of the pics but in most she does just look a bit big around the middle.

crashdoll · 28/10/2016 23:00

Her uterus contents, her business.

ThePinkOcelot · 28/10/2016 23:01

That picture doesn't look like her at all.

HarrietVane99 · 28/10/2016 23:02

Those things are her job. That's her public image. Doesn't mean the public is entitled to know every detail about her private life.

ConferencePear · 28/10/2016 23:03

I agree 100% with you Harriet.

FoxesOnSocks · 28/10/2016 23:03

Does she have a surname at the moment?

I always found it amusing that in work I don't have to inform them of a pregnancy until four weeks before I intend to start maternity. Maybe Cheryl Noname has the same clause?
