Despite the whole world being convinced Cheryl and Liam Payne are expecting their first child, the couple are yet to officially announce the news. But now Liam's One Direction band mate Niall Horan has spoken about the couple, seemingly confirming the rumours.

Talking to a national newspaper about how he thinks Liam is feeling at the prospect of becoming a dad for the first time, Niall said he 'doesn't know' but can imagine he is very 'nervous'.

He said, "Liam hasn't said he nervous but I'm sure he is. I bet he can't wait as well. It is a very exciting thing in your life." The Irish singer also revealed he thinks his mate's girlfriend is 'lovely'.

He added, "He's great and she's lovely, it will be a lovely child."

Despite no official confirmation, Cheryl's hairdresser delighted fans last week when she shared and then quickly deleted a behind the scenes video of Cheryl and her 'bump'.

Hairdresser Wendy Iles' video panned around the studio where Cheryl could be seen standing in front of a white screen whilst the photographer adjusted her tight fitting black dress.

It's understood that Liam is out in America working on his debut solo album. The 1D star registered a brand new song at the end of 2016 but is yet to officially release anything for fans to hear. Reports are suggesting Liam's track is called 'Myself', and we literally can't wait to hear it!

Back in July Liam sent his fans into meltdown when he announced he had signed a solo deal with Capitol Records UK.

Taking to Instagram to announce the news, Liam wrote, ‘'I’m really happy to have signed to such a prestigious label as Capitol Records UK. Capitol Records has an amazing history stretching right back before even Frank Sinatra and I'm really looking forward to becoming part of their story. One Direction will always be my family; I'm now excited to show what I can do as a solo artist."

Eek! So exciting!

Meanwhile, Cheryl is keeping a low profile back in the UK as rumours about her 'pregnancy' continue to spark excitement among fans.
