Cheryl, 33 announced her happy news on Mother’s Day weekend via social media, but since then she has remained quiet, clearly busy with her mummy duties. Her partner, One Direction’s Liam, did post a funny photo on Twitter shortly after the announcement, joking about nappy changes. The photo showed Ross from Friends screaming, "No, no, no" with a look of horror on his face and captioned the clip: "When the fourth nappy happens in 5 minutes."
