Liam and Cheryl are parents to their seven-month-old son Bear Grey Payne

Earlier this year Liam Payne and Cheryl welcomed their first child into the world – Bear Grey Payne.

Since their little one was born, Chezza has been doting over her son and has kept away from the spotlight while Liam continued to work on his debut album.

The Girls Aloud star has slowly returned to the limelight by appearing in a L'Oreal advert, walking a catwalk in Paris and helping Simon Cowell at the judges houses for the X Factor.

WATCH: Simon Cowell still can't believe Cheryl called her son Bear

The mum-of-one recently confirmed she's working on new music, she told Vogue magazine: "What’s interesting is that I love music now more than I ever did.

"The baby loves music too, and I always played it throughout my pregnancy. So back to the grind, back to popstar life, back to recording.

"It’s all fun again. I haven’t released music for a long time but it’s good to clear your mind – silence and tranquility and beautiful things happening to me has helped me to see things differently."
