Cheryl's beautiful changing pregnancy shape as she 'confirms' to friend and family she's expecting

With news that Cheryl has been telling family and friends of her pregnancy, it seems the star is entering the next stage of her life.

The former Girls Aloud singer was spotted with boyfriend Liam Payne last night showing off a bump as they attended the Fayre of St James Christmas Carol Concert.

But unlike last night, the singer hasn't always been so comfortable about flaunting her stomach.

While reports are suggesting that Cheryl's been expecting since MAY, it's only been over the past few months that the signs have been showing.
She's always been known for her slim figure, but around September both Liam and Cheryl began keeping a lower public profile.

Our first glimpse of pregnant Cheryl came with the release of her L'Oreal advert, which saw the star's face looking different.
This prompted speculation that Cheryl could be expecting, although critics claimed she was just settling into her relationship and was finally happy after the stress of her divorce.

When Chezza attended an event for the hair care brand, she showed off her bump in a tight fitting black dress as she turned to the side to pose for snaps.

Her appearance on The One Show just days later sent fans into meltdown, with many in a state of disbelief about how different she looked.
One viewer wrote: "Oh my word cheryl on the one show! Absolutely glowing! Deffo preggers!"

While Cheryl continued to keep a low profile, last night she finally decided to stop covering up as she headed out for a date night with Liam.

Cheryl stunned last night, looking as glamorous as ever in khaki dress clinging to her figure while she left her black coat unfastened, putting her bump on display.
After social media went into meltdown over the news, a source has revealed that while the star's family have been told about the news, she has "no plans" to announce it publicly.

“Cheryl has told close friends and family the very exciting news that she is expecting her first child," said an insider.
