Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has shut down rumours that she cheated on her ex-husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini with her current boyfriend, One Direction band member Liam Payne. The 32-year-old took to Twitter to deny the reports, and her spokesperson definitively labelled the allegations as "false."
The rumours began after Jean-Bernard was allegedly informed that Cheryl, who filed for divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences' after 19 months of marriage, was dating Liam two months prior to their break-up. However, the Fight for This Love singer vehemently denied the reports, tweeting: "If anybody believes [what] they're reading today you really don't know me at all."

The former X Factor judge also received public support from Liam, who retweeted a fan's message which read: "Cheryl's the most selfless and kind hearted human you will ever come across in your life. I just don't understand why people are so cruel."
Cheryl and Liam went public with their relationship in February this year, confirming their new romance by sharing a number of photos together on social media.
