Cheryl: ‘I'm Finally Free'

She’s back, after months of heartbreak…

- Kate Randall

It’s been a tough few months for Cheryl, following her drawn-out split from baby daddy Liam Payne, but last week she proved she was back on form. Attending Simon Cowell’s annual Syco summer party, Chezza was the star of the night, and we’re told she wants everyone to know just how happy she is.

“She was really working the room – she had a smile on her face the whole night and seemed really determined to prove to everyone that she was doing great,” an insider tells heat. “She was laughing and joking and making a big effort to get back into Simon’s inner circle. She wants to show people that she’s fun, outgoing and sexy, following all the negative stuff about the split – she hates how she’s been portrayed as someone who can’t hold on to a man, and who hates going out.”
