Singer Liam Payne is "secretly" pushing his former girlfriend Cheryl into new career if her solo comeback flops. When Cheryl, 35, released her comeback single "Love made me do it" earlier this month, Payne was one of the first to tweet that he loved the song and couldn't wait to hear the rest of her new album.

And after Cheryl's new single sold just 5000 copies, Payne was on hand to offer her some advice, reports mirror.co.uk. According to a source, the former One Direction member has suggested she think about alternative paths within the music industry.
