Stunner Cheryl Tweedy was all smiles as she stepped out for the first time since her split from Liam Payne earlier this week.
The former Girls Aloud singer returned to the spotlight as she attended Syco’s annual summer party, hosted by her former ‘X Factor’ boss Simon Cowell.
Chezza looked as glamorous as ever in a bright orange dress as she posed for photos outside the V&A museum in London, just days after announcing her and boyfriend Liam were going their separate ways.
Tweedy was joined by the likes of Tulisa Contostavlos, Dermot O’Leary, Sinitta, Lizzie Cundy, Bruno Tonioli, Grace Davies, Rochelle Humes, and Piers Morgan at the bash, but there was no sign of her ex -Liam, or indeed any of his former One Direction bandmates.
I reported last week how in a joint statement the ex-couple both posted the announcement of their break-up on Twitter. However, Cheryl and Liam insisted they would remain friends for the sake of their one-year-old son, Bear.
Their post said: “We are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It’s been a tough decision for us to make.
“We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.”
Cheryl later spoke out again to defend her mother from reports she was somehow involved in the split.
She tweeted: “I hate responding to stuff especially at such difficult times but I cannot sit here and listen to such nasty, false articles regarding my mam.
“I don’t know why they involve her in stories about me. I can assure you she has absolutely nothing to do with any of it.
“I am a grown woman who is capable of dealing with my own life. She is a soft and kind woman who doesn’t deserve to be dragged into something that has nothing whatsoever to do with her.”
It had been rumoured Cheryl was set to rejoin Simon on the ‘X Factor’ panel this year as a replacement for Nicole Scherzinger.
It has already been announced Nicole and Louis Walsh will not return to the ITV series this year, while Sharon Osbourne will only appear during the live shows.
However, it has been claimed she has chosen to join the judging line-up of his new BBC One talent show called ‘The Greatest Dancer’, which will air next year. Oo-er!
