Daddy's girl: Cher Lloyd paid tribute to her father with her new tattoo the word Daddy and a heart on her right hand


Just last week she showed off her sixth and seventh tattoos in tribute to her late uncle, but Cher Lloyd has inked her body yet again – this time with the word Daddy and a pink heart etched onto her right hand.

The X Factor singer showed off her eighth tattoo as she took to the stage at Wembley Arena last week and the homage to her father Darren was clearly visible.

The young diva took to the stage with her bright red hair styled into a large quaff and wore a crystal-embellished black jacket, a bright pink bow tied around her waist, a frilly black skirt and leather trousers.

At 17-years-old she is still under the legal age to have a tattoo although she now has quite a collection of different designs all over her body.

The teenage singer has not left her mother Diane out from her permanent tributes and she has the lyrics from a Tracy Chapman All That I have Is Your Soul song, which is her mother’s favourite track, on her left arm.

Cher also has a bird carrying a ribbon and a birdcage on her forearms in memory of her uncle Edward 'Boo Boo' Smith, who died last September after being tricked into taking a heroin substitute.

The singer has a diamond on her right hand as well as lyrics taken from Jay Z and Alicia Keys duet Empire State Of Mind.

'Bolsillo Lleno De Suenos' - which means 'pocketful of dreams' in Spanish - is written along her right arm.

Before appearing on the talent show Cher already had a bow at the base of her back and a musical note on her left hand – similar to mentor Cheryl Cole’s own tattoo.


Paying tribute: Cher posted a photo of her tattoo tribute to her uncle - a bird flying from a cage - on her Twitter page


In an interview last year, Lloyd admitted she loved the comparisons between her and her mentor Cole - who have similar tattoos on their hands.

Lloyd said: 'I admire her fashion, her looks and I even have a tattoo of a musical note like hers on my hand.

'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.'

Simon Cowell says 'peace'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Peace out: Simon Cowell gives love to the cameras as it is suggested that he has yet to sign on to the next UK series of X Factor


ITV’s director of television has suggested that Simon Cowell is yet to sign a deal to appear on this year’s X Factor.

Appearing on Richard Bacon’s Radio 5 Live show this afternoon, Peter Fincham was asked if Cowell would be returning to the judging panel when the new series which begins in the autumn.

He said: ‘It has to remain speculation. The X Factor is coming back and is back in the ITV schedule this autumn. Simon will be closely involved with it as he is always involved with it.

‘I don’t want to sound like an evasive politician, but I’m not in a position to confirm or deny any of the individuals to be sitting in those chairs or on the X Factor this autumn.’

Bacon then asked him: ‘Simon Cowell has yet to agree to appear in the next series?’
Fincham replied: ‘We have an agreement which has been publicly announced for both the X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent. They will be on ITV screen for the next three years.

Cowell was spotted outside his Los Angeles mansion today, and perhaps in a sign of goodwill to the network, flashed a peace sign.

In limbo: ITV’s director of television said he was 'not in a position to confirm or deny any of the individuals to be sitting in those chairs or on the X Factor'


He pulled into the driveway of his Los Angeles mansion in his £1million Bugatti Veyron and handed the keys over to his personal valet.

He then flashed a peace sign to the waiting cameras as he made his way into his £15million house.

A short while later, he was back in another of his cars as he took his Bentley convertible for a spin round the Hollywood Hills.

Asked if it would be a disaster if Cowell failed to appear in the UK series, Fincham added: ‘No, of course it wouldn’t and you shouldn’t look at it that way Richard.


Not a care: ITV may be sweating but Simon looked carefree as he went for a spin in his Bentley...


... and looked happy and content as he flashed his trademark peace sign to the cameras


‘The show will be there and when we’re ready to announce who will be on it we will announce who’s on it.’

Simon is in Los Angeles to start proceedings on the U.S. version of the X Factor, with auditions starting in Los Angeles on the 27th of this month.

Reports this weekend have suggested that he has warned Cheryl Cole she may not get a job as one of the judges.

According to The People, Cowell may not be able to persuade the Fox network that Cheryl is the right celebrity for the job and a source told the paper that Simon told her: 'Sorry, but business is business.'


'Still in the running': While Cowell has yet to rule out Cheryl Cole, he hinted that the chosen judge for U.S. X Factor will be a high profile American artist


This week Cowell confirmed that George Michael, former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, Mariah Carey and Paula Abdul are all being considered for the show, but no-one has signed on the dotted line as yet.

While Cheryl is understood to be be 'still very much in the running,' Cowell hinted that the chosen judge will be a high profile American artist.

He said: 'It’s not about necessarily the TV show per se, it’s people. You genuinely gotta trust that they’re gonna be able to do the job you’re paying them to do.

'And like I said, a hit-maker who worked in America and has had experience, I think is crucial to this panel as well.'

Of the heavily-pregnant Carey, Cowell said: 'Yeah, I’ve spoken to her. I mean literally, we’ve spoken to lots of people. I’ve spoken to Paula...And then new people come along… [Two days ago], we met somebody who I’ve never met before in my life, who I just loved.

Look familiar? Cher Lloyd takes inspiration from X Factor mentor Cheryl Cole in furry white headband

By SARAH BULL

Spot the difference: Cher Lloyd stepped out earlier this week wearing a fluffy white headband almost identical to the one worn by Cheryl Cole last December


She may no longer have Cheryl Cole as a mentor, given that the X Factor finished months ago, but it seems Cher Lloyd is still taking inspiration from the Girls Aloud star.

Cher, 17, stepped out on Tuesday wearing a white furry headband almost identical to the one sported by Cheryl in December.

The teenager was out in Sheffield fitting in some shopping time with fellow singer Katie Waissel ahead of the X Factor live performance on Tuesday.


Caffeine fix: Cher and X Factor friend Katie Waissel popped out in Sheffield ahead of their tour performance on a quick coffee run


It's not the first time a similarity has been detected in the way that Cheryl and Cher dress.

From Cher's very first X Factor audition, the teenager was immediately likened to the 27-year-old singer, and did little to detract from the comparison in the following months.

However, after Cher was spotted out in a pair of red lace-up boots donated by Cheryl, the petite star came forward to insist she is her own fashion icon.


Say cheese: Cher and Katie pose for a photograph with some young fans


She said last year: 'I don't model myself on her. I think she's an amazing woman to look at, but I'm myself.'

Cher has been appearing throughout the UK on the X Factor tour alongside fellow stars including Katie, Mary Byrne, Wagner, Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle.

But it was recently reported the teenager has been causing issues with some of the X Factor, after boasting about her recent trip to LA which saw her record songs with Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am and producer Red One.


Giving it her all: It was a quick change for Cher as she took to the stage on Tuesday night on the X Factor tour in Sheffield


A source told Star magazine: 'It’s as if Cher things she’s too big for this tour. She struts around like she owns the stage.


Popular: Cher has an album coming out in August


'It makes the other singers so angry - they barely speak to her. She seems to have let it all go to her head and has been acting like a total diva.'

Mary Byrne, who won the public over with her outgoing personality and impressive voice, also spoke recently about Cher, and admitted she had caused some problems when they all lived together in the X Factor house.

Mary said: 'Cher was being a little bit of a missy. People were talking about her thinness and she started talking about fat people.

'And, you know, I’m a big woman, which she got quite abrupt about, so I said to her, “You know, every one of us has something wrong with us, there’s none of us perfect and you can’t keep putting other people down because you’re feeling low. That’s bullying”.’

Rebecca Ferguson gets her time to shine as she dazzles Sheffield in the X Factor Live tour

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Moment to shine: Rebecca Ferguson showed off her curvy figure in a little black dress as she performed several songs as the X Factor Live Tour came to Sheffield


She may have come second to Matt Cardle, but Rebecca Ferguson proved herself as a future superstar as The X Factor Live Tour hit Sheffied.

The Liverpudlian single mother, 24, wore a series of slinky outfits as she performed to a sell-out crowd of 10,000 fans at the city's Motor Arena.

At one point, she was lifted up on to a huge platform with two purple 'wings' sprouting out from her back, making her appear like a butterfly.

She sang Show Me Love and Bob Dylan's Make You Feel My Love - a hit for Adele in 2008 and 2010 - receiving a standing ovation from the thousands in the arena.

Cher Lloyd kicked off the show with a four-song set, including Get Your Freak On, Boom Shake The Room, Hey You (Girlfriend) and Stay.

But getting the biggest screams of the night were boy band One Direction - perhaps because one of their members Louis Tomlinson is from the city.

The five-piece - comprising of Louis, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne - sang some of their most popular covers from the show, including Kids In America and Chasing Cars.

The Sheffield gig came after Mary Byrne revealed the extent of some of Cher's bad behaviour when the contestants all lived together during the live shows.

Mary, who releases her debut album Mine And Yours later this month, told the Metro newspaper: 'She was being a little bit of a missy. People were talking about her thinness and she started talking about fat people.

However, Mary insisted that the 17-year-old apologised ‘because she knew she was wrong'.

The 51-gig tour started on February 19 at Birmingham's LG Arena and will end in Cardiff's CIA on April 10.
