Cheryl Cole’s fans were delighted when her son Bear made his Radio 1 debut at the tender age-of-seven on Friday, with some even spotting he had Geordie accent just like his famous mother.
During Greg James’ Breakfast Show guest Perrie Edwards was tasked with calling her A-list friends during one game and guessing if they were sitting down or standing up.
The former Little Mix star, 30, who was promoting her new single Forget About Us, opted to phone pal and fellow singer Cheryl, 40, revealing the two speak regularly.
But after dialling the number it was Bear, who Cheryl shares with ex Liam Payne, 30, and keeps out of the public eye, who awnsered.
‘Hello, who is this?’ he asked, while a beaming Perrie enquired: ‘Is this Bear?’.

‘Yes’ he replied, before confirming he was indeed sat down as the Little Mix singer cheered in triumph.
A very surprised Cheryl then came on the line telling host Greg: ‘Bear is saying “It’s my first time on radio now everyone knows me”‘.
Before the little one wished Perrie good luck with her brand new single.
Fans loved hearing Bear’s voice and took to X writing: ‘This is so wholesome’: ‘He’s so sweet’: ‘It was so cute’: ‘OMG they just called Cheryl on Radio 1 and Bear picked up and he was so cute!! He has a little Geordie accent’: ‘Aww Bear so cute saying good luck Perrie on her music and hearing Cheryl speak too, my two girls from two favourite bands’.
In March Bear’s dad March Liam posted a rare snap of his son to Instagram sending his 26M followers into a frenzy.
In the photo Liam obscured his son’s face as he showed the little one a billboard in London’s Leicester Square advertising his new single Teardrops.
Writing: ‘I want to be on a billboard one day daddy’.
Fans immediately rushed to the comments failing to believe just how quickly Bear had grown.

Asked if her son might make an appearance on stage at some point during the tour, Cheryl said: ‘The problem is that I want Bear to have a normal childhood.
‘I don’t want people recognising him on the street. But he’s twigged that I’m famous. The other day he said, “How lucky am I to have famous parents?” I said, “It doesn’t matter.” He goes: “Yeah. But it’s pretty cool.” ‘
Greg James’ Radio 1 Breakfast show airs Monday to Friday from 7am.
