14 DAY TRIAL // Cher Lloyd is tipped to be the favorite to win this year’s edition of X Factor – that is, if she doesn’t succumb to the immense pressure on the show, since she seems to be about to do so at any minute.
Lloyd won over the judges and the audiences the moment she walked on stage. When she started singing “Turn My Swag On,” she literally had them eating out of the palm of her hand. Shortly after making it through to the next round, the boot camp stage, rumors began to say the already very delicate Cher had problems coping with the stress and pressure of the show.
Neither seems to have abated, as it could be seen on one of Cher’s recent outings in London, the Daily Mail believes.
The 16-year-old beauty was dressed in a blue jumpsuit that seemed to hang loose on her tiny frame, while her face and body language showed signs of immense stress, the tab says.
“The size six star looked under strain and failed to raise a smile as she strolled around the capital along with other contestants from the show,” writes the Mail.
“With her hair styled in a bouffant backcombed plait and wearing beige wedge shoe-boots, Lloyd is emerging as a budding fashionista like her X Factor lookalike Cheryl Cole, but her loose-fitting blue denim jumpsuit appeared baggy on the already petite singer’s frame,” the same report reads.
“While being interviewed in the street Lloyd’s body language made her appear anxious,” the tab further says.
While Cher has always been a small girl (which was obvious from her first audition for the show), insiders insist she’s not handling the pressure of fame that well.
Apparently, she’s shaking before she takes to the stage to perform and she’s telling people that she doesn’t know how much more of this she can take.
“The X Factor is a big deal and you do need nerves of steel to get through it every week. Everyone was worried about Cher, she was extremely nervous and shaking at some points,” the Mail quotes an insider as saying.
This is not the first time that these rumors about this season’s favorite make it into the press, but producers of the show are adamant that everybody is being well taken care of, as we also told you a few days ago.
