While co-hosting the radio show with Nick “Grimmy” Grimshaw, the mother of one admitted that she and her Liam are on good terms. She even revealed that former boybander was listening to them on-air.

At one point, the 35-year-old had to sit through Liam’s new song “Polaroids.” However she insisted that it wasn’t a hardship. She told Grimmy, “I do love the song. But he did say, 'Play my song, aha.’”

When the DJ asked if the 25-year-old returned her support and if he was enjoying the show, Cheryl said, “Yeah he loves it. Says we're hilarious and this should be a permanent thing."

Her co-host then asked if the pair (who both have currently charting singles) are experiencing any rivalry. “Not that I'm aware of. See, I'm still wrapping my head around the new way it works. His has been out for about a month now, I think at one point we were close together in one of the charts but I'm still getting to grips with how it all works,” she said, gracefully dodging the question.
