Cheryl's Insta Fans Show the Love in a Very Modern Way

We're used to seeing Cheryl brandishing her dimples via her Instagram, so when she posted a pic of herself wearing the very definition of 'sad face', her fans were left a little worried. 

She uploaded the below, captioned: "think its time for the.. Studio!!! It is on 2016.." While the caption could be considered upbeat, her facial expression didn't quite follow suit.

Her previous post bidding farewell to 2015 was more telling. She entitled the below pic of her proffering her middle finger: "Bye 2015.. you've been real!!!!! You have taught me a lot but I am happy to see the back of you !! Happy New Year everyone.. I hope this year brings you everything you wished for & is filled with happiness, love & laughter! Wishing you a happy , healthy & prosperous new year."

Rumours have been circulating that Cheryl and her husband, restaurateur Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, are on the rocks. They've not been photographed together since October, with reports suggesting that the singer spent Christmas and New Years with her family. JB, meanwhile, was allegedly spotted in Miami on Christmas Eve.

Fans have been expressing their concern under the posts, with comments including: "I sometimes worry about you, I hope your okay". and "I love you&its weird that I miss you even if i havent seen you personally", and "Morning princess, I wish you an amazing day! Sending you lots of love!"

Others have taken to Twitter...

So on to how  people on Instagram are showing the love; they're posting "selfies" of themselves with Cheryl.

And in the absence of Cheryl herself, they're using their bedroom posters.
