Cheryl Fernandez- Versini coping with personal ‘family heartbreak’

X Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez- Versini is said to be travelling between Newcastle and London to deal with a personal family matter.

According to a source for The Sun on Sunday:

“Cheryl’s been going through a great deal of stress recently and has been left very upset over this matter.”

They added that she is “putting on a brave face and trying to focus on work as much as she can to take her mind off things.”

While Cheryl has chosen not to address the situation publicly, the outlet reports that she has “been going through a great deal of stress recently and had been very upset over his matter.”

The 32-year old has recently been citing the death of her father-in-law as a reason for her dramatic weight loss. The pop star was faced with heavy criticism surrounding her physical appearance when she appeared on the red carpet for the first time after he passed away.

Earlier this month she hit back at those who shamed her and said that body shaming should be made illegal.

“Body shaming has to stop. Something has to be done, changed, even if it’s done in law.”

While at the time she said she was “very happy and very healthy,” this recent news would suggest otherwise.
