And it didn’t take long for the pair to talk about their new common ground - babies.

A source said: “Simon and Cheryl bonded over parenting during a private jet and helicopter flight to the house.

“She curtsied for him she first got onto the plane - it was her way of breaking the ice.

“Despite the break they’ve had from each other, they’re still clearly very close.”
