The biggest question in showbiz was eventually answered last week. Cheryl confirmed she is expecting her first child with One Direction star Liam Payne in a photo shoot for a joint campaign between The Prince's Trust and L'Oreal Paris.

Now Liam has sent some 'Chiam' fans into meltdown by posting a tweet to his 23.9 million followers reading, 'Why do I always do the strangest walk when I'm trying to be quiet in a morning 😂😂'.

Of course this is probably a completely innocent message by Liam who seemed to be trying to humour his fans, but some Directioners looked further into it.

One user wrote, 'Were you trying not to wake baby?, with another adding, 'Could this mean 👶'.

Another asked, 'When are u gonna say something about the fact that u are having a child'.

Despite some speculation, other fans were happy to send funny GIFs back to Liam as how they imagined him to be 'walking quietly'.

Cheryl showed off her baby bump for the first time last week when she posed for official photographs for a new Prince's Trust campaign.

Wearing a tight fitting dress, the former Girls Aloud star cradled her bump as she posed alongside the likes of Katie Piper, Helen Mirren and X Factor star Louisa Johnson.

Cheryl later shared the video from the campaign to her Twitter account, looking radiant with her bump.

Earlier in the week fans were quick to point out that it has been one year since Liam seemed to confirm their romance by changing his Instagram picture to a cute snap of them together.

A year on the couple seem happier than ever and will welcome baby 'Chiam' into the world sometime soon (if they haven't already).
