Cheryl 'in tears' after cancelling Bear's birthday party due to coronavirus outbreak

Pop star Cheryl was reportedly left in tears after cancelling her son Bear's birthday party due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The singer, 36, had been due to host a lavish bash for family and friends last month to celebrate her little boy's third birthday.

However, she made the difficult decision to cancel the party after the government urged Brits to start social distancing.

She posted a cheerful message on social media telling fans she made sure her little boy still got spoilt on his big day even though the bash couldn't go ahead.

Now Heat magazine reports Cheryl cried because she was so upset about calling off the event.

A source told the publication: "They made the decision to cancel and reschedule Bear's birthday party, so she's gutted for him as he had been talking about it for weeks and really looking forward to it.

"He’s too young to understand why it was cancelled and Cheryl made sure he had a great day anyway and he was very spoilt.

"But she had some tears – it was an emotional day with it being his birthday and Mother’s Day and also for the situation the world is in, it is a very scary time.

"She's doing all she can to make it better for Bear.”

After cancelling the party, the former Girls Aloud singer revealed the pair had watched Frozen 2 on repeat.

Cheryl thanked everyone for their well wishes and she said her son, whose dad is her ex Liam Payne, had enjoyed "lots of cake and toys" instead.

She said: "So I just brought myself out of the Frozen 2 on-repeat-all-day-all-night room to come and say thank you to everybody that's sending Bear happy birthday wishes.

"He's three today. Obviously no party, but it doesn't matter. He's still having fun. Lots of cake, lots of toys, he doesn't really know the difference."
