Paparazzi are outside London’s Portland Hospital and rumours are swirling Cheryl is in labour NOW

It's the baby news we are all holding our breaths for this month – are Cheryl and Liam finally becoming parents?! Well, they might just be welcoming their bundle very soon – at least if these latest rumours the Metro are reporting on are to be believed. The tabloid claims fans are speculating that a very pregnant Cheryl ‘may have’ or ‘is having her baby’ this weekend after paparazzi were rumoured to be stationed outside London's Portland Hospital, where she’s reportedly staying. Oh, and to add fuel to the fire, the 33-year-old pop princess was absent from her new L'Oreal campaign launch on Friday night – triggering even more buzz she is about to welcome her baby. Cheryl's rep did apparently confirm to OK! Online earlier on Friday that the singer was ‘not able to attend’ the event – something that caused Twitter to explode with speculations she was now in hospital either in labour, or having already given birth.

No word (or sign) of baby yet, though, so I guess we'll just have to wait this one our and see.. However, if Cheryl is indeed in labour, the Portland Hospital and their staff are at least well equipped to deal with the paparazzi, being the birthing place of choice for many celebrity mamas, such as Victoria Beckham, Jools Oliver and Liz Hurley, who have all given birth at the star-studded private hospital.
