Fans went wild on Monday night when the term #congratulationsliam started trending on Twitter and everyone assumed Liam Payne confirmed girlfriend Cheryl's pregnancy.

It has been widely reported that Cheryl and the One Direction star are expecting their first baby together as their much-talked-about romance continues to blossom in front of the public eye.

And this week, 1D fans went into a social media overdrive when they saw the hashtag "#CongratsLiam" trend on Twitter - which seemingly confirmed to them that the singer was going to be a father. The loyal Directioners were, however, wrong as other online users took to their accounts to congratulate Liam, 23, for signing a new solo record deal.

"#congratsliam I had i little heart attack because i thought this hashtag confirm that Liam will be a dad," wrote one Twitter user.

"That moment when you come on twitter, then you read #CongratsLiam and think @LiamPayne confirmed he's gonna be a dad," said another fan.

"When at first you thought this was trending bc Cheryl had announced she was pregnant #congratsliam," tweeted one follower.

Cheryl, 33, recently fuelled pregnancy rumours when she stepped out for a date night with One Direction singer Liam. The Girls Aloud star covered up for the date night at Nobu in a camel-coloured jumper dress and a matching coats – but fans were convinced they could spot a baby bump showing through her loose clothing.

It marked the first time that Cheryl and Liam have been pictured together since her birthday dinner back in June, and their appearance sparked a social media frenzy as people continued to speculate about those baby rumours.

Meanwhile, earlier this week, it was announced that the former X Factor judge's divorce from Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini will be finalised on Thursday. A source recently told The Sun On Sunday that Cheryl is "delighted" to finally leave the marriage behind her and move on with her new life.

"This has been the result of months of negotiations," the insider said. "After months of debate Cheryl is really relieved the terms have been finally agreed by both sides."
