Scene yesterday A BUS driver was arrested for suspected drink-driving yesterday following a crash which injured 20 people.

One passenger, a 15-year-old girl, is in a critical condition after the double decker smashed into a car, another bus and a bus shelter at 12.20pm.

The casualties were first treated at the scene at West Croydon bus station in South London.

London Ambulance Service said that 17 who suffered minor injuries were taken to hospital.

Scotland Yard confirmed an investigat­ion into the collision is under way.

A spokesman added: “The driver of the bus has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and remains in custody at a South London police station.”

ON HER CURRENT ATTITUDE TO ROMANCE

Cheryl in 2007 and, main picture, in London on Friday UNLUCKY-IN-LOVE Cheryl Tweedy has insisted there is only man she needs in her life right now – her son Bear.

The singer, 35, said she has “zero” desire to start a new relationsh­ip following her split from the 19-month-old’s dad, Liam Payne.

And she said Bear makes her feel truly happy for the first time in her life.

Cheryl said: “My heart’s full, I’m fulfilled. I’m not looking for anything any more. I’m whole. I’ve got the man of my dreams.”

She also admitted her obsessive relationsh­ip with Bear could “maybe” have been a reason for the breakdown in her relationsh­ip with Liam, who she credits as the only man to have been faithful to her.

Asked if the 25-year-old One Direction star felt left out, she said it was possible, adding: “When I think back to new motherhood, I was in such a bubble of love, I don’t think I saw anyone else.”

And the former Girls Aloud star stressed romance was not a priority after her split with Liam and failed marriages to footballer Ashley Cole, 37, and restaurate­ur Jeanbernar­d Fernandezv­ersini, also 37.

Cheryl said: “I would never say never. But I have zero desire to start up a new relationsh­ip.”

On love in general, she added: “I think I love too easy, tolerate too much.”

Giving an interview to promote her first single in four years, Love Made Me Do It, Cheryl also hinted that Liam broke up with her rather than the other way around.

She said: “You can’t rely on someone to make you happy. I might want somebody else to be in my life but if they don’t want to be in your life, what are you supposed to do?”

Bear now sleeps in her bed every night, which she calls “the best thing in the world”, as she doesn’t want to leave him to sleep on his own. She told the Sunday Times: “I would spend every breathing moment with him and not do anything else. But I know that’s unhealthy.”

The video to her single sparked rumours that she is using facial fillers and Botox, and she stunned fans with the new look – including a bob hair style – in London on Friday.

But she said: “My whole body, even my face, everything’s changed since Bear was born.”

Early next year, Cheryl will appear on the panel of BBC series The Greatest Dancer and also release her new album.

And as she returns to the spotlight, she added: “I feel like I’ve had two lives – me before Bear and me with Bear. Now I’m certain. I feel like a woman.”

Never say never. But I have zero desire to start a new relationsh­ip CHERYL
