Cheryl’s weight loss ‘due to family issue’

SHE sparked concern when she sported a drastically thinner frame following her return as a judge on The X Factor in July. But according to The Sun on Sunday, an undisclosed family heartache is the real reason behind Cheryl Fernandez-Versini’s recent weight loss. It’s been claimed the 32year-old is making regular trips between her London home and her family home in Newcastle to deal with a continuing drama. It’s claimed that this has left the star feeling rundown, which could have resulted in her shedding the pounds. ‘She has chosen not to publicly address the situation but rather maintain a dignified silence and get on with things,’ an insider said. ‘She is putting on a brave face and trying to focus on work as much as she can to take her mind off things.’ Cheryl’s weight loss has also been linked to the death of her father-inlaw earlier this year.
