Cheryl Instagram account hacked: 'Hail Satan' and 'f*** Liam Payne' written alongside pictures

Cheryl’s Instagram account has been hacked and pictures of upside down crosses uploaded to her page.

The singer’s account showed a picture of an upside cross next to the caption “666 f**k Liam Payne" for half an hour. A second picture, which was up for 15 minutes, included the caption: “Hail satan 666 b***h that’s what we do”.

Cheryl and the One Direction singer have been officially dating for nine months. Payne has not commented on the hack. 

A third picture directed people to the Gin$eng Twitter account. That account includes a reference to the Cyber Wolf Gang. 

This post appeared on the singer's account

All three have since been taken down from the page, suggesting her team has regained control of her account. A spokesperson for Cheryl told The Independent: “We are aware and we are sorting it out at the moment.”
