Cheryl celebrated her 35th birthday yesterday - we know, she looks amazing, right?!

Despite receiving many birthday wishes from fellow celebs, it was one from her best pal Nicola that really struck a chord with fans.

Nicola, who won her place alongside Cheryl in Girls Aloud after they appeared on Popstars: The Rivals together, shared a super sweet snap of herself and Cheryl along with Kimberley Walsh, who was also in the band.

The first post was taken the night before Cheryl's birthday and featured Kimberley, bearing the simple caption: "Friendship never ends" - but some fans took this to be a dig at Nadine Coyle and Sarah Harding, the other two members of Girls Aloud who were noticeably absent.

The other snap featured Nicola and Cheryl as well as nail artist Ama Quashie, which was taken in New York a couple of weeks ago, according to Nicola's sweet caption.

The caption read: "I took this in New York a couple of weeks ago when missy (@cherylofficial ) decided to fly out with me to support me at my show. It was the first thing I had done in a v long time and it was just another example of how lovely you are inside. And when people were surprised that you had done something so kind all I had to answer with was that's who she is. "We were all jet lagged here and over trying to take a pic but it's the only snap I have of us. I know I could throw anything your way and you'd be there trying to figure it out with me. I don't know what I'd do without you. Happy Birthday beautiful β™₯ufe0f."

Kimberley also posted on Instagram for Cheryl's birthday, reposting Nicola's first photo and then sharing one of just herself and Chez, writing: "The happiest of birthdays to this beauty. Inside and out. Love you loads @cherylofficial ❀️."

Cheryl also took to Instagram to celebrate her birthday, posting a selfie with the caption: "Go shorty it’s my birthday πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ°πŸŽ πŸŽ‚πŸŽˆπŸ’ƒπŸ».. Thank you so much for all my lovely birthday wishes .. very kind of you ☺️�."

But Cheryl's boyfriend Liam Payne's Instagram and Twitter accounts were noticeably without any mention of her - his last post being a photo backstage at one of his gigs from six days ago on Instagram.

However, The Sun have reported that he flew to see her on her birthday, so maybe he was just super busy.
