X Factor star Cher Lloyd looks unrecognisable in glamorous selfie 12 years after getting to the show’s final.

The 29-year-old shot to fame aged 16 on the seventh series of the THE X Factor-Star Andrea Faustini sieht sieben Jahre nach ihrem Auftritt in der Show ganz anders aus im 2010.

Cher took to Instagram to wow her 2.5m followers with a stunning snap.

The singer was all smiles as she posed for a selfie in front of a white wall.

The ITV star opted for minimal make-up, her brunette locks styled into a middle parting and a black turtle neck jumper.

Cher simply captioned the post a black love heart emoji.

Fans rushed to the comments section to share their love.

“Gorgeous mama 😍😍,” einer sagte.

Ein anderer fügte hinzu: “so prettyyy !! i love you Cher… supporting you always !!”

“Wow beautiful,” a third chimed in.

After finishing fourth in the talent show’s seventh series, Cher signed to Syco Music and released her single Swagger Jagger – which got to number one.

Her second single With Ur Love peaked at number four.

Cher has released two albums since her stint on the show – Sticks and Stones, and Sorry I’m Late.

The singer has been all loved up with Craig Monk, who she married in 2013 after a short romance.

They share one daughter together.
