Cheryl left fuming after Instagram age game predicts she’s almost 50

Awkward...

The Greatest Dancer's Cheryl

Instagram filter games are our new obssesion - after all, who doesn’t want to find out which Disney character they are or which Hogwarts house they’re in?

One person who isn’t a fan though is Cheryl, who was left fuming after one game said she was almost 50 years old.

Not ideal at all.

The former Girls Aloud singer was taking part in a number of filter games on her Instagram story and it was all going well until she played one called “How old do I look?”

Cheryl stared into the camera as a series of numbers flashed by until it landed on 47, a whopping 11 years older than her real age. Ouch.

The mum-of-one’s jaw dropped in reaction before she fumed, “Very very very harsh.”

It’s safe to say Cheryl was NOT impressed and added an unamused face emoji to top it off.

Cheryl is currently starring in the second series of BBC One’s The Greatest Dancer alongside Glee star Matthew Morrison, Strictly pro Oti Mabuse and new dance captain Todrick Hall, who recently shocked viewers with his savage dig at her relationship with ex-boyfriend and father to her two-year-old son Bear, Liam Payne.

In a recent episode Oti hilariously told a little girl, who was auditioning for the show, that she wanted to have a baby boy now so the pair could grow up and marry each other.

Todrick, who rose to fame on the US version of RuPaul's Drag Race then told Oti, “Well maybe you could date him a few years after he was on the show, that's been done before.”

Cheryl immediately turned round and gave Todrick "the eye", which warned him to stop talking about the failed romance. He then pretended to throw himself off the judges table as the mother-of-one shouted, “The shade! Oh I'll get you back.”
