Your support makes all the difference.Cheryl’s Instagram account has been hacked and pictures of upside down crosses uploaded to her page.
The singer’s account showed a picture of an upside cross next to the caption “666 f**k Liam Payne" for half an hour. A second picture, which was up for 15 minutes, included the caption: “Hail satan 666 b***h that’s what we do”.
Cheryl and the One Direction singer have been officially dating for nine months. Payne has not commented on the hack.
A third picture directed people to the Gin$eng Twitter account. That account includes a reference to the Cyber Wolf Gang.
All three have since been taken down from the page, suggesting her team has regained control of her account. A spokesperson for Cheryl told The Independent: “We are aware and we are sorting it out at the moment.”
