Cheryl Tweedy Returns Publicly After Liam Payne's Funeral Stalking Ordeal

Cheryl Tweedy made her first public appearance since the death of her ex-partner Liam Payne and the sentencing of her stalker, Daniel Bannister, who received a one-year prison sentence for breaching a restraining order. Bannister's persistent harassment, including showing up at Cheryl's home multiple times, left her feeling "stunned" and "terrified," and also impacted her young child, prompting reliance on security and support from family and friends. Cheryl attended the Hadestown Gala Night in London to support her Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts, marking a significant moment as she continues to cope with her grief and the ongoing threat posed by her stalker. Payne tragically died after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, leaving Cheryl to protect their son Bear while managing intense media scrutiny surrounding his death. Despite the challenges, sources close to Cheryl say she is determined to focus on her son and move forward, hoping to observe the anniversary of Liam's death without further distress. The court also issued Bannister a lifetime restraining order, underscoring the severity of his actions against Cheryl.
