Cheryl waves to fans as she leaves 2:22 A Ghost Story after stalker threats

CHERYL has been spotted waving lovingly to her adoring fans as she left the theatre after another performance last night.

The former Girls Aloud star has been playing lead character Jenny in 2:22 A Ghost Story at London's The Lyric Theatre.

Cheryl, 39, smiled to the waiting crowd as she hurried into a waiting car to head home from the show on Wednesday.

Still wearing her stage costume, she looked glamorous in the brown coat as she pulled her long hair back into a ponytail.

The singer could be seen raising one of her hands to wave at the crowd, as her security helped her get into the car.

It comes after Cheryl was left furious when her bodyguards stopped her from meeting and talking with her fans.

The singer clapped back against security as they led her through the crowd, and moved her along from those waiting for photos.

Trying to pose for a photo with Cheryl, a fan could be heard saying: "It's my dad's birthday on Friday and it would make me really happy."

But before she got a chance to reply, the security worker placed his arms around Cheryl, helping her into the car.

The star was seen looking furious as she raised her arms and fought back: "It's his dad's birthday!"

However, the car door was closed in her face as disappointed fans shouted: "She wanted to do it, that's not her fault."

Appearing to speak to the bodyguard, one fan hit out in the clip shared on Twitter: "Vincent, you should be ashamed of yourself."

Cheryl's security team were left on "high alert" after menacing messages were left for her outside the show.

She has been plagued by stalkers for years and is said to have received some “disgusting” notes in gifts.

It's meant that Cheryl is now being escorted out of the venue each night to a waiting car, after she received flowers with a disturbing message.

A source said: “There’s at least one nutter who has been sending some pretty disgusting and disturbing messages.

“She hasn’t been shown them but they’re included with the flowers people leave after performances.

"Cheryl has enough to think about on stage to a packed theatre each night without having to think about that too, but steps have been taken to ramp up security and put her mind at rest.

"Her minders are all over the venue communicating via radios and closely monitoring her movements and escorting her everywhere she goes.”
