Cheryl Fernandez-Versini facing 'stressful' family problem

"The X Factor" judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is reportedly going through a rough patch in her life due to a family problem. The singer has decided not to talk about it in public, but it is eating her up inside.

According to a source to The Sun newspaper, Versini, who has been in the news due to her weight loss, has been making long trips between her home in London and her hometown of Newcastle to deal with a stressful family matter, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Cheryl's been going through a great deal of stress recently and has been left very upset over this matter. It's constantly on her mind and is definitely a contributing factor to her weight loss. She has chosen not to publicly address the situation, but rather maintain a dignified silence and get on with things," said the source.

The 32-year-old singer had previously cited the loss of her father-in-law for her weight loss, and is keeping herself busy by devoting herself to the shooting of another season of "The X Factor".

The source added: "She is putting on a brave face and trying to focus on work as much as she can to take her mind off things. Her schedule with 'The X Factor' is manic so she is using all of her spare time to make trips back to Newcastle and spend time with her family".
