Cheryl shares rare snap of son Bear, 7, as they watch the northern lights on ‘perfect’ countryside holiday
CHERYL has shared a rare snap of her son Bear on their incredible summer staycation in Cumbria.
The mother and son duo spent lazy days in the sunshine and admired golden sunsets over rolling green fields.
They fed chickens and were even treated to a purple and green sky courtesy of the northern lights.
In a sweet snap, Cheryl, dressed in a white robe, put her arm around Bear as he pointed up to the sky.
She wrote on Instagram: “There’s really no place like the English countryside when the sun is shining, and as if it couldn’t get any better…
“the northern lights even shone for us too… thank you Ben and Paul @thecountryhousediaries, it really couldn’t have been more perfect.”
Cheryl and Bear stayed inside the luxurious Country House of Cumbria which describes itself as “a Georgian hall fit for 21st Century Lords and Ladies”.
The sprawling house’s prices are based around 16 people staying at a time, though Cheryl didn’t disclose how big her party was.
Three nights inside the stunning six-bedroom property costs £5,720 while seven nights are £6,820.
It has three acres of gardens teeming with wildlife and the modern interior has a classy finish befitting of the estate’s exterior.
Cheryl’s followers loved the glimpse into their getaway, with one writing: “Northern lights for the Angel of the North.”
Another said: “What a magical experience. Glad you enjoyed your time away.”
A third posted: “Looks lush!!! Hope you’ve had a lovely summer.”
Last month, while preparing for a Girls Aloud concert at Sheffield Arena, Cheryl brought Bear on stage and was pictured holding his hand.
The doting mum wore a casual pink tracksuit and baseball cap, a far cry from her glitzy stagewear.
The group decided to reunite and go on an arena tour around the UK to mark their 20th anniversary and celebrate their late bandmate Sarah Harding, who died after battling breast cancer in 2021.
Meanwhile Cheryl previously revealed the moment when Bear realised both of his parents were famous; his dad is One Direction star Liam Payne.
Speaking to British Vogue, she explained the youngster thinks it’s “pretty cool” that his mum and dad are pop stars.
When asked if her son might appear 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.'”
