GOOD Morning Britain's Kate Garraway, Susanna Reid and Charlotte Hawkins couldn't stop gushing over Cheryl's blossoming baby bump and "gorgeous" pregnancy glow as they opened today's breakfast show.
They went on to speculate the beauty is expecting a baby BOY - because of the shape of her curvy tum.
The all-female panel were eager to chat about The Sun's pictures showing the pop star cradling her rounded tummy in the first exclusive images confirming she is
Cheryl wore minimal make-up and her hair in loose relaxed waves over her shoulders as she stands side-profile with her face in a soft smile.
After pointing out her picture for The Prince's Trust on today's front page Kate quickly commented: "She does look gorgeous doesn't she.
"Absolutely lovely."
She later added on the ITV show: "She's the definition of blooming."
Mum Charlotte, wearing a pretty pink dress, added: "She does look absolutely stunning."
Meanwhile Susanna, who completed Thursday's all-female panel, quizzed: "I think we can officially say she is pregnant - yeah?" to which Charlotte quipped: "That's not just a big dinner is it!
"There's no way of hiding it from that angle!"
They then congratulated the Newcastle lass on her happy news.
Kate and Susanna then went on to speculate Cheryl will give birth to a little lad, to the confusion of entertainment reporter Richard Arnold.
Susanna said: "Does that mean she's expecting a boy? I thought if you couldn't see the bump from the front that's what it meant."
Kate replied: "They say if it's straight out it's a boy, girthy it's a girl."
The singer, 33, posed for the shoot when she was eight months’ pregnant and is just days away from giving birth with her and One Direction star Liam Payne’s first child.
It is the first time she has shown her bump in an official capacity after choosing not to publicly confirm her pregnancy.
A source exclusively told The Sun: “Cheryl is confident, proud and very ready to become a mum.”
The shoot – filmed in January – is part of a re-branding exercise for beauty brand L’Oreal, who have teamed up with the Prince’s Trust for a new drive focused on confidence.
A video has also been released featuring Cheryl and other celebrities including actress Helen Mirren.
