ALL BETS ARE OFF ON CHERYL BABY

Bookies hit by wave of tot wagers

BOOKIES have suspended betting on Cheryl announcing she is pregnant this year.

Coral was swamped with bets following the release of “bump” pictures of the former Girls Aloud singer.

The brunette beauty stepped out in Paris on Sunday night wearing a figure-hugging top and showing off plumper cheeks and a fuller face, sending fans into a meltdown. It is the first time the glamorous babe has been spotted in public since the Daily Star broke the news of the baby claims last month.

But despite the tight fitting outfit showing off the X Factor babe’s new curves, the pop star is remaining silent.

Plug

Coral’s John Hill said: “After being flooded with bets over the last 48 hours on Cheryl announcing she is pregnant before the year is out, we have decided to pull the plug on this market for now as the sheer intensity of this gamble suggests an announceme­nt could be imminent.”

Instead punters are turning to marriage chances for the star, with odds at 1-2 that Cheryl, 33, and her boyband hunk Liam Payne, 23, wed next year. Mr Hill added: “The latest betting now indicates the couple are likely to tie the knot next year as we are now odds-on for the pair to get married in 2017.”

Cheryl’s representa­tives had no comment to make yesterday.

But the loved-up couple have made no secret of their desire to have a family, and Cheryl’s mum was last week spotted shopping in Mothercare. Last month, a source close to the couple told Now magazine: “Cheryl’s never been more determined to have a baby.

“It’s like it’s the only thing in the world that matters to her.

“She’s never been so focused on something.

“Cheryl has a stash of pregnancy and motherhood books she’s always reading.”
