Cheryl returns to the stage! Pop star puts on a VERY animated display at Mighty ...

She was an icon of the early noughties pop music scene but had a lengthy hiatus when she had her son Bear. 

And Cheryl finally returned to the stage to the give the fans what they have always wanted as she performed at the Mighty Hoopla festival in Brixton's Brockwell Park on Saturday night. 

The former Girls Aloud siren, 38, showed she's still got it as she put on an animated display while dancing around in a sparkly pink cut-out leotard for the event.  

Cheryl showed off her lithe physique in the eye-catching stage outfit which featured nude cut out sections and dramatic sleeves as she belted out all her iconic hits.

She wore her brunette tresses in a half up half down do and opted for a very glamorous makeup look complete with sequins next to her eyes.

The beauty and mother-of-one looked like she was having a great time as she took to the stage putting on a confident display singing and dancing.  

The performance marked Cheryl's grand return to the music scene after she took time away from her singing career following the birth of her son, Bear, now four.  

Mighty Hoopla organisers issued a statement ahead of Cheryl's performance earlier this week that read: 'We are thrilled that this year's Hoopla will be closed by one of the millennium's most iconic pop stars.

'Having risen to fame in one of biggest girl groups of the 21st century, Cheryl has since gone on to release five number-one singles in the UK – the first British female solo artist to achieve this feat.
