X Factor star Cher Lloyd gives fans very rare glimpse into family life with husband and daughter
CHER Lloyd has given fans a very rare glimpse into her life with husband Craig Monk and their daughter Delilah-Rae.
The 29-year-old usually shields her family from the spotlight but couldn’t resist sharing some photos to mark the end of 2022.
Former X Factor star Cher‘s uploads showed her and Craig with Delilah, four, spending time with family and friends throughout the year.
She wrote: “Thank you 2022!
“This year was full of big changes. From moving house to Delilah starting school .
“So happy to be making memories and spending time with those I love.

“Wishing you all the very best for 2023! Sending my love .”
Cher and Craig took fans by surprise eight years ago when they tied the knot in secret. She broke the news on Instagram, posting a black and white shot from the big day simply captioned with the date.
It’s been more than a decade since Cher found fame on The X Factor, when she was just 16 years old.
Fans of the show will probably remember her audition, singing Keri Hilson’s Turn My Swag On, which caused judge Cheryl Tweedy to brand her: “Right up my street.”

However despite finishing fourth in the competition and enjoying some initial success, it wasn’t long before the pressures of fame became too much for Cher.
Speaking previously to The Sun, she recalled the time she was forced to flee the stage at V Festival in 2012 when she was pelted with bottles of urine.
Suggesting that was a reaction the character she was “forced” to play during The X Factor, Cher said: “I’m more disappointed that it was OK to do that to a human being, and that talent could be overlooked because people wanted to create a character.”
