Sack the stylist? Cher Lloyd appeared to be channeling her inner Hilda Ogden at Heathrow yesterday with a pair of blue dungarees and a bandanna


She is often seen trying to emulate the style of her former X Factor mentor Cheryl Cole but it seems that yesterday she was taking inspiration from a much more unlikely source.

In fact, Cher Lloyd appeared to be channeling her inner Hilda Ogden as she arrived at Heathrow yesterday.

The petite singer was dressed in a pair of pale blue dungarees a grey jumper and had her hair tied up with a bandanna placed across it.

The wannabe was dressed was also wearing thick gold earrings and a pair of rose printed Dr Martin boots which made for a bizarre combination but with a distinct look taken from the Coronation street character.

The petite singer appears to be constantly experimenting with her style and doesn’t appear to have found her signature style just yet.


Could be twins? The 17-year-old's appearance looked similar to Coronation Street's Hilda Odgen's style


She is not only a fan of donning interesting clothing but has gone under the tattoo needle no less than eight times and has covered her frame in interesting inkings.

Cher, who found fame on the X Factor last year coming fourth behind Matt Cardle, Rebecca Ferguson and One Direction, has been busy working on her debut album.

Earlier this month the teenager posted a video of herself auditioning dancers for her debut music video working hard to ensure that they ‘gel’ with her.

In the video, Cher says: 'The auditions are going really well. I'm really glad there's bedroom dancers as well.

'I'm looking for fresh-faced people, just people that mix in with the crowd and just back me up really.'

Cher Lloyd gets down with her dancers as she prepares to shoot debut music video

By Sarah Bull


This is how I roll: Cher Lloyd joins a group of hopefuls as she auditions dancers for her debut music video


She won over Cheryl Cole with her unique mix of rapping, singing and street dancing when she auditioned for The X Factor.

And now Cher Lloyd has posted a video of herself auditioning dancers for her debut music video - working them hard to ensure they are up to her standards.

The 17-year-old star is seen getting down with the hopefuls to make sure they 'gel' with her.

In the video, Cher says: 'The auditions are going really well. I'm really glad there's bedroom dancers as well.

'I'm looking for fresh-faced people, just people that mix in with the crowd and just back me up really.'

Cher, who wears baggy jeans, a brown vest top and checked blazer, is then seen getting up and joining the group for an impromptu street dancing session.

She explained: 'The reason I got up and started to dance with them was because I wanted to see if they would actually gel with me and to see the interaction.'

Getting down: Cher appeared to be enjoying herself in the video of the auditions, which she posted on her official website

Are we gelling? Cher laughs as she messes around with the dancers


And presumably those who didn't 'gel' with the X Factor runner-up didn't make the cut for the video, expected to be released later this year.

It was also revealed today that So You Think You Can Dance runner up Tommy Franzén has been enlisted to choreograph the routine.

He said: 'I will be choreographing Cher Lloyd's first music video that will be shot on May 17.

'After [having] had two dance auditions for it, we're in the process of finalising who is to be in it. Keep a look out for the video! I believe it's going to be a good one.'

Watching and learning: Cher appeared in awe of some of the tricks performed by the candidates

I can do it too: But she was also keen to prove her own worth as she made her way into the centre of the room to dance with the rest of the hopefuls


Cher has been in New York and Los Angeles recently putting the finishing touches to her debut album.

And songwriter Savan Kotecha, who is executive producing the record, said it is sure to be a hit - and sounds just like Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie's first solo album.

He said: 'It's such a blend of different things. Each song is so different from the other, but it's her.

Home again: Cher was seen arriving at London's Heathrow Airport today after her trip Stateside


'The only way I can describe it is that it's like Fergie's solo album, where London Bridge was completely different from Clumsy, but then you also had Big Girls Don't Cry, but Fergie was still the red thread throughout it all - that's how Cher's songs are.

'There's some hard ones, some vulnerable ones and some fun, silly ones and she just delivers on every one. We were just so impressed.'

Cher's debut album is due for release on 12th September.

Cher Lloyd gets butterflies as she unveils her new - and eighth - tattoo on Twitter

By Georgina Littlejohn


New look: Cher Lloyd unveiled her new butterflies tattoo on Twitter this weekend - and new hair extensions in Miami last week


She already has an assortment of tattoos scattered across her person.

But Cher Lloyd clearly thought that seven was just not enough as she unveiled a new inking this weekend.

The X Factor contestant showed off some new designs on her right arm, an extension of one she already had.

The 17-year-old posted a black and white photo on her Twitter page of her arm, which had been inked with five butterflies.

They were joined by a question mark and a peace sign, as she added to the bird carrying a ribbon that she already had.

On the ribbon is the word 'Boo', a tribute to her late uncle Edward 'Boo Boo' Smith, who died last September after being tricked into taking a heroin substitute.

She had the design inked two months ago and also had an empty birdcage on her left arm to look as though the bird had flown free from it when she put her arms together.

An inquest in December heard how Mr Smith, 34, was found dead in his Malvern, Worcestershire home after being 'deceived' into taking a lethal dose of methadone.

Cher wrote on her Twitter: 'Happy birthday Uncle Boo, missing you. New tattoo. Xxxx.'

In an interview last year, Lloyd admitted: 'I’m not even old enough to have a tattoo, but I have three. I know it’s naughty.'

She also noted Cowell - who has signed her to his Syco label - doesn't approve of her body art: 'Even though Simon doesn't approve of tattoos the thing is I'm my own person and think it'd be cool to get another one.'

Paying tribute: Cher had a bird flying from a cage done in March, which she added the butterflies to


Cher already has a bow on her back, musical note on her left hand and Spanish phrase on her right arm which reads Bolsillo Lleno De Suenos' - which means 'pocketful of dreams'

In January, she then got song lyrics on her left arm - 'All That You Have Is Your Soul' - lyrics from a Tracy Chapman song of the same name, and an image of a large diamond on her right hand

Tattoo fan: Cher also has a diamond on her right hand and song lyrics on her left arm


Cher also unveiled a new hairstyle as she landed in Miami last week, where she had the tattoo done and where she is believed to be working on her debut album.

The long brown hair extensions come a month after she ditched her fiery red locks for a sleek dark bob, which she added too with caramel and blond extensions.

Not enough: She even has a bow inked on her lower back
