Cheryl has been largely away from the spotlight ever since she started a family with ex-boyfriend Liam Payne.

After becoming pregnant with her first son Bear, the singer focused on family life and her music took a backseat.

But now the star has started work on her comeback music, she's set to make her big return to The X Factor with a live performance for the first time in four years.

The Sun reported that Cheryl had signed up to perform her new single Love Made Me Do It during a November live show.

But now, she's happily married to Jean-Bernard...

According to the paper, the tune is about her doomed romance with the One Direction star and her other relationships that turned sour.

It's sure to be a hit, as a source told them, “Inevitably, all of the big TV shows have been fighting to get Cheryl’s first performance as it will be a huge ratings winner.

“But she has decided to remain loyal to The X Factor rather than give the exclusive to its rival, BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.

“And Cheryl will be pulling out all of the stops to make sure that this is one of her most talked-about performances to date."

The last time Cheryl performed on the talent show was back in 2014, when she sang I Don't Care to a live studio audience - but this performance may be a little more awkward, as Liam's pal Louis Tomlinson is now a judge on the show.

We can't wait to hear the new material!
