Rock chick Cher Lloyd can't raise a smile as she soaks up the sun on Californian set of her new video

By Sarah Bull


What's up? Cher Lloyd couldn't raise a smile on the set of her new music video in San Fernando earlier this week

She shot to fame as a bouncy, attention-seeking contestant on The X Factor in 2010.

But judging by pictures of Cher Lloyd on the set of her new video in San Fernando over the weekend, the teenager is attempting to go for a more serious approach for her next song.

The 18-year-old star failed to raise a smile on the Californian set of the video, going for a grungy new look in a cropped T-shirt and pleated leather miniskirt.

Grungy new look: Cher wore a cropped T-shirt with a pleated leather miniskirt and ripped lace tights with boots


Cher teamed the outfit with ripped lacy tights and a pair of heavy boots, topping the ensemble off with lots of rock chick-type jewellery.

The teenager later tweeted a picture of herself and fiancé Craig Monk with a canine friend on the set of the video, with the caption: 'Me and craig yesterday at the video shoot..what a cute dog!!!!! Xxxx'

While Cher is making a name for herself as a bona fide singer, she said in a recent interview taht she's not 'your average celebrity, and never will be. I am a businesswoman'.

Being sensible: Cher kept herself hydrated in between takes by sipping on a bottle of water

She added: 'We singers are known as public property, just because this is what we've dreamed of doing forever.

'But it doesn't mean you can knock us to the ground and treat us like s***. We're real people, and what we're doing is hard work.'

During the interview in heat magazine, Cher also hit out at critics of her recent engagement to hairdresser Craig.

She said: People are negative no matter what you do. People are always going to say "she's too young". I'm from a gypsy background! I'm meant to be married by now.'

Trendy: Earlier in the day Cher showed she does have some fashion sense as she left her London hotel to head to the Radio 1 studios

By Daily Mail Reporter


Oh dear! Cher Lloyd went for a flamboyant catsuit as she performed at London club G-A-Y on Sunday for the third time


She's always had a slightly quirky taste in fashion but even Cher Lloyd outdid herself at G-A-Y tonight.

The Swagger Jagger singer turned out on stage wearing an all-in-one leotard emblazoned with pop art-style cartoon strips.

And if you thought it was bad enough that she even thought of putting it on, she actually had the outfit commissioned especially by her stylist.


Taking to the stage, Cher was carried in front of the crowd by G-A-Y owner Jeremy Joseph.

And she was obviously pleased with her flamboyant get-up as she confidently performed a five-song set.

Clutching a bright pink microphone, the 18-year-old threw her hands in the air as she sang.

Wearing her big hair down, Cher matched the catsuit with black ankle boots with skyhigh heels.

Attitude: Cher's stylist specially commissioned the interesting get-up for the five-song performance

And she was obviously keen on turning up in the ensemble as her stylist Alexis Knox commissioned the outfit by designer Alice Vandy.

But her fans were obviously pleased to see her in the interesting outfit as the gig was a sell out.

Writing on Twitter prior to the event, she wrote: 'I can't wait for tonight @JeremyJoseph ! Let's put on a show!!!! See you soon! Xxx'

Petite: The unitard showed off the 18-year-old's minuscule physique as her fans cheered her on at the sell-out show

During the evening she sang her stracks With Your Love, Superhero, End Up Here, Player Boi and Want U Back.

Cher used the event to show the crowds her talented vocals, something which has got her under fire recently.

The teenager caused a storm by making comments about her former X Factor mentor Cheryl Cole, slating her for allegedly not singing live during her own performances.

Controversy: She recently caused a backlash after accusing her former X Factor mentor Cheryl Cole of not performing live during her own shows

Cheryl took to Twitter to hit back at the girl she once dubbed her 'mini-me', writing: 'Be Careful who you kick on your way up... They kick you twice as hard on your way back down', adding: 'Unappreciation is ugly.'

But Cher has since apologised over her remarks, likening her comments to 'word vomit.'

She appeared on Daybreak earlier this week, seemingly going back on her words.

The young singer said: 'Basically I said something on radio that I shouldn't have said and it wasn't intended to sound as bad as it did.

'All I was saying was that I would love to perform with her live and then I made a little joke... I want to say sorry to her if she found that offensive.

'At the end of the day, she was the person who got me where I am today. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be where I was.'


Different looks: She looked pretty in her simple get-up as she walked along with her fiance Craig Monk prior to the gig

But although she seems to be struggling with her onstage outfits, Cher has no problem with her appearance day-to-day.

Prior to the show at G-A-Y she was seen earlier in the day leaving her London hotel with her fiance.

Cher wore simple black wet look trousers with a jumper and stylish stripey heels as she headed to the Radio 1 studios.

And she wore her brunette locks in an up-do with just a slick of lipgloss, even accessorising with a trendy brown leather bag.

It was word vomit! Cher Lloyd apologises for implying that former mentor Cheryl Cole relies on autotune to perform live

By Holly Thomas


She opened a can of worms when she insinuated during a radio interview that her former X Factor mentor Cheryl Cole relies on autotune for her live performances.

But it seems following a somewhat hurt response from the singer, Cher has thought better of her harsh words.

The 18-year-old apologised during an appearance on Daybreak this morning, saying that her thoughtless comment was simply 'word vomit.'

Took it back: Cher Lloyd apologised on Daybreak this morning for her suggestion that Cheryl Cole relies on autotune during live performances

'Basically I said something on radio that I shouldn't have said and it wasn't intended to sound as bad as it did,' she told ITV's Daybreak.

'All I was saying was that I would love to perform with her live and then I made a little joke... I want to say sorry to her if she found that offensive.'

'At the end of the day, she was the person who got me where I am today. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be where I was,' Cher added.

The recently-engaged teenager insisted her youth was not an excuse for the gaffe.

Didn't mean to offend: Cher said that she had made a little joke that had been taken the wrong way

'I'm in the public eye now so word vomit isn't good,' she said.

Cher confessed that since her rise to fame, fears her mum worries too much over her wellbeing.

'She gets very frustrated, my mum, because she doesn't get to talk to me as much,' she divulged.

'I don't live at home anymore, so it can get really stressful for her and she's always worried about me.'

Showed she was grateful: Cher acknowledged that she wouldn't be where she is now without Cheryl

Turning to the camera, Cher joked: 'So mum I'm fine. I'm on the telly at the moment, so I'm fine, I'm safe, I'm doing alright.'

Let's hope that Cheryl accepts Cher's on-screen apology.

If the star hadn't taken a shine to Cher for being 'right up her street' at that first audition, she could still be an unknown student.

So it must have felt like a slap in the face for Cole to hear 18-year-old Cher's comments earlier this week, slamming her former mentor for allegedly not singing live during her performances.

Hurt: Cheryl Cole, who was the most enthusiastic over Cher's talent on the X Factor, said she should be careful who she kicks on the way up

Cheryl took to Twitter to hit back at the girl she once dubbed her 'mini-me', writing: 'Be Careful who you kick on your way up... They kick you twice as hard on your way back down.'

The Parachute singer added: 'Unappreciation is ugly.'

The scathing tweet comes after Swagger Jagger singer Cher appeared to make fun of Cole during an interview on the Real Breakfast for Real Radio North West show.

Asked if she would ever perform with Cheryl, Cher replied: 'Maybe if she sings live with me!'

After she was then asked if she thought the prospect of singing live would be a difficult one for Cheryl, Cher replied: 'Well it is nowadays, when you haven’t got the nifty little button to press!'

Presenter Debbie Oubsey asked Cher if she meant that Cheryl was relying on autotune, to which the teen laughed (somewhat sarcastically): 'What, oh no? Never, never ever!'

Scathing: Cheryl Cole hit back at Cher Lloyd's comments on her not singing live

Cheryl famously caused controversy when she appeared to be singing over a pre-recorded backing track as she performed Fight For This Love on The X Factor back in 2009.

Cher's comments come after an interview with Fabulous magazine last weekend when she said she has not kept in touch with Cheryl during her time on the X Factor.

She said: 'Cheryl understood me and she helped me a lot and so it's sad that I haven't heard from her.

'But if she wants to give me a ring she can. If not, that's fine too.'

New material: Cheryl shared a picture of herself in the recording studio in LA on her Twitter page earlier this week

Cher first caught the judges' eyes on The X Factor with her very first audition, when her unique mixture of sounds and urban look earned her a comparison to a young Cheryl.

Meanwhile, during her interview on Real Radio North West, Cher also commented on her ongoing feud with another X Factor judge, Louis Walsh.

Cher suggested that Louis should maybe take a break from the ITV show during the competition this year.

She said: 'Maybe he should go on a holiday. Have a holiday for a few years! Have a break Louis, you work too hard.

'He’s the only one that’s stayed; he might as well go as well and bring someone else in.'
