‘A lot has happened in Cheryl’s personal life since she was last working on a talent show — BBC’s The Greatest Dancer — so she’s taking baby steps to put herself back out there. 

‘Teaming up with will.i.am as a guest mentor seems the perfect way to kick-start her comeback.’

The series will reportedly air next year and the source said there are hopes Cheryl will agree to sign on permanently. 

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Cheryl for comment.  

Cheryl’s possible return to work comes after the tragic death of her former partner Liam Payne, who is the father of her son Bear. 

In the six years between Liam’s split from Cheryl and the singer’s untimely death in Argentina, he became engaged to model Maya Henry and was reportedly talking marriage with his girlfriend of two years, Kate Cassidy, before he died. 

But despite moving on romantically from the Girls Aloud singer, the One Direction star made his feelings very clear, hailing her as ‘the most important person’ in his life, and praising her for always being there for him, despite their split. 

The former couple lived just minutes away from each other and before his death Liam revealed their relationship was stronger than ever, describing Cheryl as ‘the best mum in the world’ to co-parent with.

Cheryl was later revealed to have the heartbreaking task of raising her son without his father, but a new dimension to that task emerged when it was revealed that Liam died without leaving a will. 

It meant that his £24million fortune will go to Bear, and Cheryl has been named administrator, meaning she will be entrusted with protecting the money for her son. 

It is unknown whether Liam, 31, had considered this outcome when thinking about his affairs, but regardless Cheryl, 41, has been entrusted with a huge responsibility on behalf of her ex-partner. 

Meanwhile, the lack of will means that Liam did not make any direct provision for his father Geoff and mother Karen, his two sisters and wider family, or other loved ones such as his partner Kate Cassidy. 

But perhaps it seems appropriate that the responsibility of dealing with his estate has gone to Cheryl, along with music industry lawyer Richard Mark Bray, given the depth of their bond.

Liam couldn’t help gushing about his former partner in interviews saying that he ‘couldn’t ask for more’ in the mother of his child. 

While Cheryl has always been more guarded, the remarks she did make about Liam publicly were telling. 

In a 2018 interview, she claimed he was the only man who had never cheated on her, and she has never publicly dated anyone since they split up in 2018.

Liam and Cheryl first met when Liam auditioned for The X Factor back in 2008 as a fresh-faced 14-year-old.

Rumours of a romance emerged in 2016 when Liam shared a picture of a tattoo on his hand, thought to be a tribute to Cheryl’s giant rose tattoo on her lower back and posterior. 

In March 2016, they became ‘Instagram official’ and months later, made their first public appearance at Cannes Film Festival and after more rumours, it was confirmed that Cheryl was pregnant with their son Bear. 

However, in July 2018, Cheryl confirmed she and Liam had sadly split in a tweet, writing: ‘We are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It’s been a tough decision for us to make.

‘We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.’

But despite ending things romantically, the pair continued to be bonded through their son, and stayed close over the years as they co-parented Bear, with Liam later declaring: ‘Cheryl’s always there for me.’
