Cheryl leaves fan speechless as she makes surprise visit to her home
She visited fan Michelle Illingworth and her newborn baby
She's said to be feeling a bit broody at the moment, and now Cheryl has left a loyal fan in tears after making a surprise visit to meet her newborn baby.
Making her first appearance since lockdown began, Cheryl visited the home of fan Michelle Illingworth, leaving her 'speechless' in the process.
Posting a series of (socially distanced) pictures with 'special visitor' Cheryl, Michelle wrote on Instagram, 'I am actually speechless.. Luca had a very special visitor today.. CHERYL 😭🥺🥰😍💙 my heart is so so full. I have no words, I love her so so much.' (sic)
Explaining what Cheryl said to her, Michelle continued, 'I couldn’t make your wedding & you’ve supported me over the years, the least I could do was come and see you and your beautiful new baby’ 👶🏼'.
Sharing a pic of her entire family with Cheryl, Michelle said, 'Never getting over this.. what a special human 😭🥺👶🏼💙✨'. (sic)
And, as if the visit wasn't enough, Michelle posted a pic of the flowers Cheryl had bought her, with the caption, 'My beautiful flowers from Cheryl yesterday 🥺.. ‘a little something for mama’ 💗 #flowers #beautiful #lucky'. (sic)
This all comes as a source tells heat magazine that Cheryl's in the 'perfect place' for a second baby.
An insider explained, "Cheryl’s always been a bit of a recluse, so lockdown isn’t far off how she lives her life anyway.
"Knowing that a Strictly Come Dancing judging role is on the radar for September has meant she’s completely taken the time off before then to relax with Bear and just be a mum.
"She’s really been thriving during this ‘new normal’ and she thinks it’s the universe’s way of telling us to reflect and slow down. She’s totally dialled down her life and her diary, which means she’s really in a perfect place right now for baby number two."
