Cheryl's former bandmate hints at New Year baby for Liam Payne

Former One Direction member Liam Payne and his girlfriend Cheryl do not seem to be putting to rest all the pregnancy news any time soon.

'Girls Aloud' star Kimberley Walsh, who is also expecting and was recently visited by the 33-year-old singer showing off her huge bump, suggested they could meet up with their newborns after Christmas celebrations.

"We always get together [over Christmas], so the girls will probably come over to see the new baby and have a little catch-up," she told ES Magazine in an interview.

The couple has not confirmed the pregnancy, but Walsh said Cheryl would make a "brilliant" mum.

Walsh also revealed that Cheryl and Nicola Roberts will be birdesmaids next year at her wedding to partner Justin Scott after 12 years of being together.

Earlier last week, Cheryl stepped out with Nicola Roberts for Walsh's hen party at The Cuckoo Club, report standard.co.uk.

The girls sipped on cocktails served by butlers in animal masks and played games to see how much they knew about the bride and groom to be.
