Pregnant Cher Lloyd displays her baby bump in a greige bodycon midi dress

Pregnant Cher Lloyd enjoyed a day of sunshine on Saturday.

The singer, 29, showed off her baby bump in a greige bodycon midi dress and a bow-tie shirt for her weekend stroll.

Cher took to Instagram to share a photo of herself in the ensemble, which she paired with beige grandpa sandals.

The former X Factor star, who came in fourth place on the talent show in 2010, completed her look with cat-eye-style shades.

Cher announced on Instagram in April that she is expecting her second child with husband Craig Monk.

She posted an adorable video showing off her ultrasound scan, which lay alongside a knitted white baby set and a gray beanie, as she shared her baby news.

The clip started with her hands covering the screen before pulling them away to reveal the ultrasound lying beneath.

Alongside the sweet video, she wrote, “Baby number 2, we can’t wait to meet you.”

Cher and her hairdresser husband Craig already share a daughter Delilah-Rae, four, who they welcomed in May 2018.

She revealed that she had welcomed her first child in an Instagram post on May 28, 2018, sharing a sweet photo of her newborn daughter dressed in pink.

The singer announced on Instagram: “Our little girl is here! We are so in love….Delilah-Rae 25.05.18.”

The star also shared another black and white photo of their little daughter posing with her parents’ wedding rings on her toes.

In January 2018, Cher announced her first pregnancy and spoke about her excitement of becoming a parent with husband Craig.

Cher posted a photo of her belly on Instagram, telling fans she’s taken “some time away from the public eye to focus on what really matters and get back to what I really love to do.”

She shared, “I’m so happy to announce that I now have a collection of amazing new songs (that I can’t wait to share with all of you!), but there’s also another reason why I’m writing to you today and that is because I am more than happy to tell you that my husband Craig and I are also expecting our first child in May!!!”

Cher and husband Craig surprised fans when they tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in November 2013 – as they prepare to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary this year.

In January 2023, Cher provided a rare insight into her private family life when she posted a slew of snaps to celebrate the New Year, revealing that her senior year was “full of big changes.”

Cher wrote to her 2.6 million followers on Instagram on Dec. 31, saying alongside the loving photos, “Thank you 2022! This year was marked by major changes.

From moving to Delilah going to school – So happy to make memories and spend time with the ones I love. I wish you all the best for 2023! send my love.’

In one of the photos, Cher hugged her daughter Delilah, four, in the sun as they enjoyed a family day out together.

Cher seems worlds removed from her time on The X Factor, where she was known for her voluminous hairstyles and dramatic eye makeup.

The then 16-year-old first impressed X Factor bosses with her rendition of Soulja Boy’s Turn My Swag On, and after making it through the auditions, she was soon mentored by Cheryl, 39.

Despite a brilliant start to the competition, things went downhill for Cher when her alleged behind-the-scenes tantrums led to her being labeled Britain’s most ‘hated teenager’, with judge Louis Walsh even labeling her ‘too big for her boots’.

Cher finished in fourth place on the show and after her X Factor stint, she released her first single Swagger Jagger followed by her debut album Sticks and Stones.

After Cher became one of the most promising stars in the industry, it was announced in 2013 that Cher had parted ways with Syco Records due to creative differences with boss Simon Cowell.

The same year, she secretly married Craig after less than a year of dating and they soon left for the US to start a new life. They returned to the UK a few years later and welcomed a daughter in May 2018.

Reflecting on her “diva” persona during her time on the show, Cher told Fabulous magazine in 2012, “I was a beast! Everyone hated me.

‘I was young and foolish. Part of me was trying to show I was strong enough to do it, and then I think it all got too much for me.

“I was angry with the way I was edited and it turned me into this horrible person, with a horrible attitude.”

Meanwhile, the star recently revealed that she “felt really vulnerable” on the X Factor as she would be chased after rehearsals by a “group of 20 to 25 guys with cameras.”

The former contestant – who rose to fame on the 2010 series – opened up about the “extremely challenging” time.

Despite her tumultuous time on the ITV show, Cher is still singing, with the star’s single featuring Kazakh music producer Imanbek, Baddest, released last May.
