Cher Lloyd (born 28 July 1993) is a British singer and rapper from Malvern, Worcestershire who rose to fame from her part in reality TV series The X Factor.


She's been trying to keep her new romance quiet so as to not to distract from her debut single.
But it appears Cher Lloyd's burgeoning relationship with trainee hairdresser Craig Monk is now getting serious as he placed a photo of them as his Twitter profile image.
The X Factor reject,18, has been quietly dating the 21-year-old since April after he helped fit her hair extensions.

Monk works at the Four Salon in Mayfair, where Lloyd has become a regular since relocating to London from her hometown of Malvern in Worcestershire.
She first hinted at a secret boyfriend back in June, where she wrote: 'I'm so happy I have my loyal fans, family, an amazing boy, plus a great team! LOVE you people.'
When she appeared on Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills' show last month, she refused to be drawn on his identity and said she felt 'awkward' discussing her relationship.

And it appears he's supportive of her music career, revealing on Twitter that 'of course' he had downloaded her debut single Swagger Jagger.
When one follower suggested he was lucky to be dating the singer, he replied: 'I am lucky but I think she's just as lucky as I am haha.'
Monk was patiently waiting backstage when Lloyd did a single signing at Westfield Shopping Centre in West London on Monday.
He also accompanied her to Leeds last weekend when she performed at the Party In The Park concert.

The pair were seen stopping off for a Starbucks at a service station in Yorkshire on the way back to London.
Lloyd previously dated 'Essex socialite' Karim Roundi, who she met through fellow X Factor finalist Paije Richardson.
The couple had only been dating a few weeks when Roundi was reported to have cheated on her while she was recording her debut album in Los Angeles.
On reflection, she said: 'It was very hurtful. It made me aware I can't just jump into a relationship and trust people - not now.
'Whenever I meet a boy I take them home to my dad. It made it more hurtful as he got my dad's approval.'
Meanwhile, Lloyd and fellow X Factor finalists Belle Amie will be appearing on 4Music's The Crush with KFC Krushems on Sunday.
Lloyd will be interviewed on the show along with Kimberly Wyatt and Six D, which will appear on the 4Music channel at 4.30pm on Sunday.
