"We're going to be in each other's lives forever so we've got to figure it out and be grown-up about it."

Cheryl also denied that her new single 'Let You' is about Liam after some fans pointed out a resemblance between her ex and the model who features in the music video.

"Have you seen him? It looks nothing like him," Cheryl said. "He's got a tattoo – that's about all they've got in common."

"There's always speculation - it's natural," she continued. "It's just a conclusion people would draw.

"Obviously you write about your own experiences but you're writing it with other people as well."
