MUMBAI: One Direction star Liam Payne, who welcomed son Bear into the world with singer Cheryl just five months ago, has praised his girlfriend for quickly getting back into shape after "working really hard". He called Cheryl a "superwoman".

"I do get a bit overexcited sometimes. I'll go home and she'll say 'What did you say that for?'," Payne told dailymail.co.uk.

"But I'm just really happy with everything and life's great, I'm really enjoying myself and everything's really good, so I can't really complain. I just like to talk about it! I'll get a cheeky ribbing sometimes and I'll say ‘Ah, don't worry about it, it's fine! People know'.

"She is a superwoman. I can't believe it. And bless her, she's done so well and she's really happy with herself at the moment," he added.
