The Greatest Dancer captain Cheryl has revealed that she intends to use a sperm donor to have at least two more children.

Cheryl currently has a young son named Bear with her ex Liam Payne, but the 36-year-old thinks time could be running out to find a new partner.

"If time was on my side and I was in my 20s, yeah, I would wait and consider more options, or wait for somebody I felt was right," she recently told The Times Magazine.

"You could meet somebody and for that year it feels incredible, but there is never a guarantee because there are so many variables that can happen. Life is a funny old game."

Explaining that she will eventually look abroad for a donor, the former Girls Aloud star joked: "Do you imagine some guy from Newcastle saying, 'That's my child'?

"There's a lot to choose from and a lot to think about."

Back in November, Cheryl said that she feared Bear would be swapped with another baby at the hospital.

"When I had him, first of all I wouldn't let the doctors take him out of the room. I'd read this story about two girls being swapped at birth and it was playing on my mind. I was so irrational... I didn't want anyone to take him."

The Greatest Dancer airs Saturdays on BBC One.
