Former X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd showed off her blossoming baby bump during an interview with Lorraine Kelly on Wednesday.
It marked the 24-year-old singer’s first TV appearance since confirming in January that she’s expecting her first child.
Lorraine congratulated her on having a “beautiful bump” and asked Cher to stand up and give viewers at home a proper look at her stomach.
“Look!” gushed Lorraine. “That is the cutest thing!”

Cher replied: “[The baby] is due in May, it’s just around the corner! I’m starting to think now, ‘Oh, this is coming up. It’s soon!’ I’m so happy.”
As well as starting a family, she’ll celebrate her fifth wedding anniversary with hairdresser husband Craig Monk.
“We come from such different backgrounds,” she said.
“He’s so lovely. I’m so lucky. We definitely are a solid team and I think we just deal with anything that’s thrown at us.
“We’re so excited to be starting the most incredible – I hate to say journey, as I hate that word – but we are. It’s like a new start.
“This year will be five years married and I don’t know where the time is going!
“Straight away I knew he was definitely the one.”
Cher found fame on the seventh series of X Factor back in 2010; it was the same series that launched the careers of One Direction, Rebecca Ferguson and Matt Cardle.
She went on to release two albums – Sticks and Stones in 2011 and Sorry I’m Late in 2014 – and enjoyed success in both the UK and USA.
The popstar has also worked with major names including Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift – with the latter once baking her homemade cookies!
“She’s lovely,” said Cher. “She invited me to do a performance with her and came backstage into the dressing room and said, ‘I baked you these cookies’.
“I thought, first of all, where do you have the time? But she did and she was so lovely.
“She chatted to me for ages about music. It was amazing. Fantastic.”
Cher told Lorraine that while she spends a lot of time in America working, she’ll always call the UK home.
