After taking a four-year break from music, Cheryl is BACK and wowed the crowd in Manchester over the weekend. Ahead of her emphatic performance, the 35-year-old joined us backstage to tell us just what she loves about being a mum to baby Bear.
Speaking to Sarah-Jane Crawford, Cheryl said, "It enriches you, it changes you as a person. I understand so much more now about motherhood and women. We are awesome, we are amazing what we can achieve with our bodies and how you click into motherhood when you have a child."
As this year Bear is a little older for Christmas, the mum-of-one also revealed she's more 'excited' for the festive period, and she can't wait to spend time with her loved ones watching Christmas films.
After Cheryl was forced to hit back at harsh critics following her performance on The X Factor last week, the singer certainly didn't disappoint when she took to the stage at Hits Radio Live.
Performing her massive hits 'Fight For This Love', 'Call My Name', 'Crazy Stupid Love' and her new single 'Love Made Me Do It', Cheryl showcased her amazing singing and dancing to the excited crowd.
