Cheryl returns to work after welcoming baby Bear

Cheryl has revealed she's returned to work four months after welcoming baby Bear, with a picture on social media.

The new mum gave birth to her first child with former One Direction star Liam Payne back in March, and now she's revealed she's ended her maternity leave with a shoot for L'Oreal.

Giving an updated to her dedicated fans after nearly a month of not being active on social media, Cheryl posted a picture of herself on the set of a photoshoot, captioning it: 'Back at it 😉📷💄@lorealmakeup #worthit'

Fans were quick to gush about the Girls Aloud star, writing to say how 'beautiful' she looks, and it was clear they were very happy to have her back online.

'Looking good', one fan wrote, while another said: 'You're the definition of perfection'.

A third said: 'Welcome back Cheryl', and a fourth commented: 'CHEZZA you're so gosh darn beautiful we've all missed you and are so happy you're back'.

Some fans also posted to say how much they miss Cheryl's updates on social media, which used to be more frequent before she got pregnant.

One fan wrote: 'You would post all the time before you were pregnant....then while pregnant nothing. You were the most beautiful while pregnant and still are so...why not post about it and share it with your fans??'

Another said: 'Miss you on here, but hope you and Bear are doing well 😘 Excited to see what this is for. You looked stunning!'

A third wrote: 'Yes yes yes 😍 Welcome back! We missed you a lot'.

The snap is only the fifth update she's given fans on her Instagram account after becoming a mum on 22nd March.

At the time, she announced the arrival of her first child a few days after he was born with a sweet picture of Liam holding him.

Cheryl wrote alongside the picture on social media: 'On Wednesday 22nd March Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy, weighing 7lb 9 and looking like a dream. Although he still doesn't have a name he is already stealing hearts.

'We are all madly in love and overwhelmingly happy with our little arrival. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers around the world. A day that now has a different meaning to me forever 💙'
