He's our son's father, give him some dignity: Liam's ex-girlfriend Cheryl

British singer Cheryl Cole, who shares seven-year-old son Bear with former partner Liam Payne, has criticised "abhorrent reports and media exploitation" following the One Direction singer's death. "I'd like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being," she said. Cheryl added that their "son now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again".
