Cheryl makes first appearance since Liam split at Syco summer party

Cheryl was all smiles last night stepping out for the first time since announcing her split from Liam Payne.

Attending the Syco summer party at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the singer wore a cold-shouldered dress by Cushnie et Ochs in a sunny orange hue.

She paired the plunging dress, costing £506, with gold strappy heels to complete her summery look.

The bash was hosted by Syco boss and former X Factor co-judge Simon Cowell, and was attended by the likes of Tulisa Contostavlos, Dermot O’Leary, Sinitta, Lizzie Cundy, Bruno Tonioli, Grace Davies, Rochelle Humes, Piers Morgan and Louise Redknapp.

TV host Piers Morgan was also in attendance and shared the pop star’s return on Twitter with a photo of them both, joking the singer was “bouncing back with a new older man”.

Cheryl shared the news of her split with Liam after two-and-a-half years of dating, tweeting: “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.”

The pair have a one-year-old son together named Bear.
