I'm from the same neck of the woods as Cheryl. I've never met her, but met her sister a few times through work. Her sister is very normal, salt if the earth type. Everyone round here who knows Cheryl has good things to say about her. She always has time for people when she's up and has her own charity to help the deprived in this area.

Pregnancies don't have to be announced you know! There is no rule. I would imagine if she is pregnant she has told anyone that it matters to (like the father and her family). All the rest of the nosey nebs can just sit and speculate because they've no right to know regardless of how much they think they've funded her lifestyle Hmm

Arrghh. I can't quite believe no-one has spotted the PR at play here. Cheryl employs her own pap and gets some lovely pics of her out and about with bump.

The Sun are delighted to fill a half page for free. 'Buzz' develops. Bidding for the exclusive interview/scan pics/placenta etc etc can now begin. ££££££££££...

Idle curiosity Twogoats- is her sister as pretty? Cheryl is one of the most incredibly beautiful girls I've ever seen.

(I think she overdid the tattoo though Confused )

I find it funny that her answer describe her as "glowing" .... yes because she's smothered in fake tan!

I thoyght they went public. She's having a baby with one of the young fellas from one direction - he's hardly old enough to drink and she's in her 40's. It's totally cringe. It's no wonder she's keeping quiet, her divorce is only finalised since last week.

In her 40's?! No she isn't, early 30's at the most, I would guess.

Her uterus and the potential inhabitants of it are utterly her business. You don't need to announce pregnancies, they have a habit of announcing themselves via the medium of an obvious bump and/or an actual baby. Windeth thy neck in.

Thank you. Ah so a z list celebrity nonentity so I can safely continue to ignore.

round here who knows Cheryl has good things to say about her.

Guess you don't know any night club toilet attendants then.

But who gives - bar the father of the child and immediate family - gives a flying fuck whether she's pregnant or not?

Since when does anyone need to announce a pregnancy? Confused
Tell family, tell friends. That's all.

I didn't even know she was pregnant.

I get a bigger bump than that when I have a food baby thanks to my IBS. She's just an attention seeker, all the speculation is keeping her in the papers

I hope she's pregnant and very happy. Bit young granted, but Liam seems like a nice bloke.

"Her uterus her business". That is true so she should keep her uterus out of the papers to stop the annoying "pregnancy" rumours. I agree the more cynical posters who think that Cheryl and her pr are behind this. Normally even the tabloids are sensitive to pregnancy rumours and don't comment unless given the green light by the celebrity.

Shes waiting for her magazine deal with OK! Or Hello i bet. If she announces it before this they will drop the story and the money

She's hyping it up for the 'is she isn't she' publicity angle. Plus she's gaining a lot of publicity for L'Oreal with these pictures when she was rumoured to be on the verge of being dropped. I doubt their would be such interest in a perfume line otherwise.

She is a minimally talented woman who has extended the shelf life of her career by trading off her personal life and leaking to the papers. She probably leaked the rumours in the first place knowing her and her, ahem, friends who speak to the press.

It's a joke. The grey hair is probably in relation to the media referring to her age when discussing her relationship. The clothes in relation to the fact they keep pointing out her big baggy clothes covering a bump.

She is just having a laugh!

To be fair, she's a slim woman so any slightest hint of a belly from eating a big dinner will result in a newspaper story "is Cheryl pregnant?"
Quite like it does with Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham, Kate Middleton etc etc. It's a weekly event for poor Jennifer Aniston. They speculate anyway all year round.

I wouldn't be announcing a pregnancy with Liam either, he's a serial killer in waiting that one. Totally dead behind the eyes.

Never mind her belly, what has happened to her face? I genuinely don't recognise her in those photos. I used to think she was one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen but these pics just look like every other Kardashian celebrity

Because she may not be pregnant.

Because she may be waiting for the 20 week scan (I and several others I know did this despite being visible pregnant due to miscarriages and in one case poor news at said scan).

Because it's no one's business.

Because why is someone so overly invested that they care? Only the parents should be. It's pretty sad if anyone else loses their shit over it.
