CHERYL fans think they've worked out the real reason she pulled out of 2:22 A Ghost Story.
Yesterday the West End show confirmed Cheryl, 39, would not be appearing but didn't go into detail.
But some fans are convinced it's because her son Bear – who she shares with One Direction singer Liam Payne – turns six later this week.
Commenting on the announcement on Twitter, one person wrote: "I’m glad she is taking the day off and I bet she will be taking Bear’s birthday off as well (unless she decided to do his birthday in combo with Mother’s Day)."
Another said: "I specifically avoided this week as it's Mother's Day and Bear's birthday, didn't want to risk it!"
And, predicting that Cheryl could be set to take another day off this week, a third added: "I didn’t even think about it being Bear's birthday on 22nd March and I’ve already booked 2.22. What are the chances that Cheryl will still do the show?"
