Cheryl reveals the FIRST person who heard 'Love Made Me Do It'

After Cheryl's amazing X Factor performance last week, the singer joined us backstage at Hits Radio Live ahead of only her second live performance since welcoming baby Bear back in March 2017.

Cheryl, who released her epic new single 'Love Made Me Do It' in November 2018, chatted to Hits Radio presenter Sarah-Jane Crawford about who was the lucky person to hear the new single first.

As well as her Girls Aloud band mate and BFF Nicola Roberts, who helped her write the song, Cheryl revealed she played it to her close friends and family, with ALL of them admitting it got 'stuck in their heads'.

The 35-year-old also told us about her plans for Christmas with baby Bear. As he was only a couple of months old last year, Cheryl revealed she's more excited this year and revealed she thinks it's going to be really 'cute'.

Speaking to Sarah-Jane about motherhood, 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."

Watch Cheryl's full interview at Hits Radio Live below:

After Girls Aloud announced their initial split in 2009, Cheryl released her first solo material, dropping her massive single ‘Fight For This Love’. To date Cheryl has released four solo albums, spanning between 2009-2014. Her first album, '3 words', was released in November 2009 and featured her Number 1 single 'Fight For This Love'. Cheryl then released her second solo album in 2010, calling it 'Messy Little Raindrops', before her 2012 album 'A Million Lights' and her last album 'Only Human' back in 2014.

Despite many rumours swirling around that Cheryl's new single 'Love Made Me Do It' is about her ex-boyfriend, One Direction's Liam Payne, it's not! Speaking on Jessie Ware's podcast 'Table Manners' ahead of the release, Cheryl said, "It's something that anyone who's been in love will be able to relate to in some way or another. It's catchy and it's fun. It's not about one specific person or relationship, it's more about me being the lover of love that I am. I just love love!"
