Having gone through a series of high-profile break-ups, it’s no secret Cheryl Tweedy doesn’t stay single for long following a split, and last week we were told the former Girls Aloud star could be moving on with a new man.

It’s been just over three weeks since Cheryl and Liam Payne announced their split on social media, after just over two years of dating and becoming parents to their one-year-old son Bear.

But a source tells us Cheryl, 35, is already seeking solace with someone else…

‘Cheryl has been enjoying dates with someone she calls “her crutch”,’ an insider tells Now. ‘It’s someone in the showbiz industry and although it’s very early days, they’ve been enjoying coffee “dates” at her home and exchanging endless WhatsApps.

‘She has a small circle of trusted friends and even most of them don’t know the identity of Cheryl’s mystery man-friend. All she’ll say is he’s a real charmer and acts like a gentleman around her.’
