Cheryl Tweedy and Liam Payne have taken their oversharing to new depths in ways we were definitely not prepared for.
Thatâs because Cheryl divulged their âsafe wordâ in an eyebrow-raising (read: vomit-inducing) moment during Wednesday (21 February) nightâs Brit Awards.
The pair were approached by host Jack Whitehall during the ceremony, where the comedian mentioned the former One Direction singerâs duet with Rita Ora, which features on the âFifty Shades Freedâ soundtrack.
âYouâre performing later, the song from the Fifty Shades film, itâs going to get quite racy, is there a safe word?â he asked.
âShe knows what the safe word is,â Liam replied, gesturing to Cheryl.
âDonât stop,â she joked, as the nation collectively retched:
The couple had earlier put on a display of unity on the red carpet, having been at the centre of split rumours over the course of this week.
Reports had claimed they were holding crisis talks to save their two-year relationship, with âsources close to the coupleâ alleging they could part ways within weeks - rumours they were obviously keen to dispel on the night.
Cheryl is usually notoriously private, and even refused to comment on speculation about their relationship during an interview on âBBC Breakfastâ on Tuesday.
Liam is one of the many performers at this yearâs Brits, taking to the stage with Rita Ora to perform their single âFor Youâ.
He was also nominated for Best British Single and Best British Video for his debut solo release âStrip That Downâ.
