Those rumours that Cheryl might be pregnant with Liam Payne’s baby are not looking likely to cool down anytime soon.

In fact, they’re heating up so much, we could probably fry an egg on them.

While the loved-up couple have yet to ACTUALLY confirm or deny claims that they’re expecting their first child together, speculation is still rife that a Chiam baby is on the way, with fans first making assumptions when Cheryl showed a supposed ‘fuller face’ in a recent advert.

Then Liam changed his Twitter bio to read ‘The luckiest man in the world’, before this cryptic Chezza selfie was shared, followed by some fan snaps of her mum shopping for pregnancy items in Mothercare.

Phew.

In the latest development, it’s being reported that Cheryl is ‘desperate’ to divorce her ex-husband, Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, before her (alleged) baby is born, with a source claiming J-B is ‘dragging out’ proceedings.

A source told heat: “Cheryl has moved on and is ready to start her new life with Liam. He means everything to her right now.

“The two of them have both been so broody for ages and Cheryl’s told friends she’d marry him and have his babies, but having JB still hanging around is a horrible reminder of a very expensive, bad mistake she made. He doesn’t seem to want to let her move on, which is what she wants to do before she becomes a mum.

“JB has been dragging the divorce out because he wants to ensure the financial settlement is right and is thinking about writing a book about their relationship. Cheryl is fighting this all the way.”

So, watch this space.
