Taking its toll? Cher Lloyd looks thinner than ever while Katie Waissel 'needs a vacation' as they continue the X Factor tour in Manchester today


As former X Factor contestants, Cher Lloyd and Katie Waissel are currently travelling around the UK on the show's tour.

But it seems the manic schedule and energetic choreography make have taken too much of a toll on the pair, who stepped out in Manchester today ahead of tonight's performance in the city.

While Cher, 17, looked thinner than ever, baring her stomach in a cropped T-shirt, Katie, 24, wore a top bearing the slogan 'I need a vacation'.


It's not the first time Cher has sparked concerns over her weight, as many people speculated she was struggling to find time to eat during her time on The X Factor.

But she insisted at the time: 'I am eating. There is no problem. Of course I am eating I wouldn’t be able to perform if I wasn’t.'

In addition to looking very slender, Cher also missed the tour's Tuesday night performance at Manchester's Arena after falling ill.

Despite being offered refunds, it appears most of the fans were content to attend the concert, with Scouser Rebecca Ferguson receiving the biggest cheers of the night.

Liverpool Echo's critic Jade Wright said: 'Cher was on the bill, but cancelled due to a throat infection. Fans were offered a refund before the show, but judging from the crowds inside, few returned their tickets.'

Cher has been sporting an eclectic mixture of outfits during her time on tour.

Yesterday, Cher teamed her attention-seeking hair with a clashing ensemble of patterned floral skirt, grey tights, orange ankle socks white blouse, grey Mackintosh and cream heeled loafers.

A style of many colours: The 17-year-old opted for red, grey, white, black, orange, cream and a multi-coloured skirt


The unusual style appeared reminiscent of the street fashion of the Harajuku suburb of Tokyo.

Japanese teens who follow the Harajuku movement like to combine a variety of different dress styles, including Gothic Lolita, Visual Kei and Decora.

American pop star Gwen Stefani popularised the style outside of Japan with her dance troupe of 'Harajuku Girls', who accompanied her during her Love. Angel. Music. Baby. album in 2004.

On Thursday, Miss Lloyd was also attracting attention for her questionable make-up when she matched her bright red hair with the same shade of lipstick.

And today, Cher went for frilly white socks over grey tights, teamed with denim shorts, grey boots and a black jumper and matching coat.

Going east? Cher Lloyd appears to have embraced Japanese street style in her latest fashion statement in Manchester


She's already been accused of copying her mentor Cheryl Cole and superstar Rihanna.

But now it appears Cher Lloyd may be looking further afield for fashion inspiration - the 'Harajuku' street-style of Japan.

Spotted leaving her hotel in Manchester in between her matinee and evening performances on The X Factor Live Tour, the 17-year-old debuted a shorter new hairstyle.


Her hair extensions had apparently been removed and replaced by a blunt red bob.

She teamed her attention-seeking hair with a clashing ensemble of patterned floral skirt, grey tights, orange ankle socks white blouse, grey Mackintosh and cream heeled loafers.

On Thursday, Miss Lloyd was also attracting attention for her questionable make-up when she matched her bright red hair with the same shade of lipstick.

The Worcestershire-native had been shopping in Liverpool city centre with a group of friends after performing in the city earlier that week.

However she missed Tuesday's gig at the city's Arena after falling ill.

Double bill: After recovering from a throat infection earlier in the week, Cher performed twice at the Manchester Arena

Despite being offered refunds, it appears most of the fans were content to attend the concert, with Scouser Rebecca Ferguson receiving the biggest cheers of the night.

Liverpool Echo's critic Jade Wright said: 'Cher was on the bill, but cancelled due to a throat infection. Fans were offered a refund before the show, but judging from the crowds inside, few returned their tickets.'

Earlier this week, she unveiled her eighth tattoo - a tribute to her father.

She had the word 'Daddy' and a heart placed on her right hand, in addition to another tribute to her late uncle last week.

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.

Off to the circus? Cher Lloyd clowns around with her red hair and matching lipstick

By Daily Mail Reporter


Clowning around: Cher Lloyd's bright red hair clashed with orangey red lipstick as she shopped in Liverpool today


She's been a regular feature in the media since her first X Factor audition last year.

But shopping in Liverpool today, the teenager looked like she was auditioning for the circus with her red hair and bright lipstick.

The clashing colours and her stripey jumper made the 17-year-old look slightly clown-like.


Lloyd dyed her hair last month the exact same shade as famous clown Ronald McDonald.

Despite suffering a throat infection earlier in the week, Cher looked in good spirits today as she shopped with friends at the Liverpool 1 shopping centre.

Perhaps picking up some presents for her father Darren's birthday, Lloyd spent up a storm in Bank, Kiehl's and Chanel.

And in a sign she has already netted a lucrative salary since appearing on the X Factor, Miss Lloyd was wearing Vivienne Westwood earrings.

Daddy's girl: Cher Lloyd shows off her EIGHTH inking - a tribute to her father

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.

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.'
