Cheryl shares adorable video of son Bear interrupting her

It’s never easy working from home in the presence of young children – as Cheryl has discovered.

The singer, 36, was interrupted by her son Bear as she recorded a video urging her 3.6 million Instagram followers to donate to NHS charities and participate in clapping for carers on Thursday night.

Speaking on her Instagram Story, Cheryl said she wanted to quickly record while her three-year-old was occupied – but it wasn’t long before Bear gatecrashed the video.

As the former Girls Aloud star was speaking to her phone, Bear shouted out: “I want to eat!” before adding, “I want to go to the park!” as he played with a ball in the background.​

Cheryl offered to take the youngster for a walk, to which he replied: “Let's go for a walk. Yes!”

It’s the first time The Greatest Dancer judge has shared a clip of Bear’s voice, and the tot has the same Geordie accent as his Newcastle-born mother.

Cheryl is notoriously stringent when it comes to Bear’s privacy, with the star keeping the majority of her pregnancy secret.

She has never shared an image of Bear’s face, but but he is occasionally glimpsed from behind in Instagram posts.

The toddler was shown lying on the floor in a 2018 picture that Cheryl captioned: "Learning to juggle.”

Ex-partner Liam Payne, who shares the youngster with Cheryl, has previously said Bear looks more like him than the former Girls Aloud star.

“He’s the spitting image of me, but with Cheryl’s eyes,” he said in a radio interview back in 2017.

The One Direction singer revealed how much he is missing his boy during an interview this week about the coronavirus lockdown.

The singer has not seen Bear as he is isolating in London.

“It was right around his birthday that it [lockdown] happened. It was one of the first times I was in the country for his birthday and I was ready to go over and I just thought, 'I don’t know how I feel about it',” he told The Sun.

"It’s just been difficult having to put up with a lot of FaceTime, and sometimes he wants to talk on FaceTime, sometimes he doesn’t."
