Liam Payne fuels gossip with cryptic Instagram post

Why don’t you just spell it out for us, Liam?

The former One Direction man, and rumoured possible father to Cheryl Fernandez Versini’s possible baby (keep up), has set tongues wagging with a cryptic Instagram post.

The image, which shows an illustration of a US road sign reading ‘Liam Ln – Private’ was captioned ‘Stay in your lane’ by the 23-year-old star, which MUST mean “Stay out of my business and stop talking about Cheryl’s pregnancy”, right?

Either that or it’s a rather obscure road safety message. Liam as the new Green Cross Code man? Stranger things have happened.

And Liam’s not the only one seeking a wee bit of privacy of late. Cheryl’s toned down her tweeting in recent weeks, and attended just a smattering of social engagements – in really loose clothes and looking ‘radiant’, obviously.

She’s also been employing all manner of props in a bid to hide her tummy from the limelight.

Oh, just TELL US, will you?

In other Liam news, One Direction fans are beside themselves after discovering that he’s written a new song with former bandmate Louis Tomlinson.

The new number is called “Something That Scares Me About Love” and is expected to appear on Liam’s debut LP.
