Everyone knows that social media confirmation of a relationship absolutely translates to IRL confirmation.
Now unless they're playing with our emotions, One Direction's Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole have basically just done that, with what appears to be a snuggly couple shot.
The 22-year-old boyband heartthrob just changed his instagram profile photo to a black and white shot of the pair, in the wake of rumours that the pair are dating.
His new profile description now simply says "happy".
