Finally back together at Judges’ Houses, the X Factor boss also commented on how much their lives had changed since her last appearance on the show.

“I said that to Cheryl. I said, ‘Imagine us having this conversation three years ago?’ It was like, ‘Yeah, right’.

During the interview, Chezza also admitted that she absolutely hated being pregnant. Read all about that here.

Previously opening up to Vogue about her pregnancy Cheryl said she used to play music to Bear while he was still in her stomach.

“What’s interesting is that I love music now more than I ever did.

"The baby loves music too, and I always played it throughout my pregnancy.”

SO cute.
