CHERYL Tweedy put on a brave face with her Girls Aloud pals days before the anniversary of the death of her ex Liam Payne.

The singer, 42, joined Kimberley Walsh and her husband Justin Scott to celebrate bandmate Nicola Roberts' 40th birthday.

Former One Direction singer Liam died aged 31 a year ago today after falling from the balcony of his hotel room in Argentina.

Cheryl, mum of Liam's eight-year-old son Bear, wore black to dine with the group at the Lanesborough Hotel in Belgravia, Central London.
