Liam Payne has reportedly told Cheryl, that if she doesn't want to continue performing that she should become a music manager.
According to Closer, Payne is concerned for his ex wife after she was heavily criticised for her comeback performance on the X Factor.
A source said, “His advice was if she didn’t want to carry on performing she should go into music management. She had a lot of input when he was launching his solo career and he really valued all her experience."
The former One Direction member has told her to "forget about the haters and just focus on the people that love her."
However, it's clear that Cheryl is determined to keep her comeback alive, the singer was recently announced as a judge and mentor on BBC's The Greatest Dancer and has just brought out a new line of hair extensions.
