CHERYL is risking a run-in with her ex-husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini as he has arrived in Cannes just days before she’s due to appear.
The pop star’s ex-husband has headed to the French Riviera shortly before she’s due to jet in.
The former couple, who originally met in Cannes, are both due to attend events that are going on around the annual festival.
JB was spotted in Cannes today, while Cheryl, 34, is expected to fly over in the next couple of days.
The singer missed the 2017 festival so she could stay home and look after her newborn son Bear.
However, she is expected back in Cannes this week and it could lead to a very awkward encounter with her ex.
A source previously told us: “She’s been a regular in previous years and wants to return.”
Another insider added: “She is expected to attend.”
Cheryl was expected to make her first appearance as a mum as part of her L’Oreal contract at last year’s Cannes just over a month after giving birth to baby Bear, but then pulled out.
The beauty brand released a statement saying she would not be attending.

A L’Oreal spokesperson said: “Having only given birth less than one month ago, Cheryl will not be attending Cannes Film Festival 2017 with L’Oreal Paris.”
The notoriously private singer wanted to concentrate on motherhood after she and boyfriend Liam Payne welcomed their son on March 22.
A source told The Sun Online at the time: “Cheryl only gave birth last month so understandably it is too soon for her to return to work.”
Cheryl has been a regular fixture at the Cannes film festival, appearing for the seven years prior to welcoming Bear, her first child with boyfriend Liam Payne.
