FANS of shining star Cher Lloyd will find out whether she has made it through to the live final of the X Factor this weekend.

Above is a sneak preview picture of the Malvern Link teenager, who has shot to fame since taking part in the ITV show, standing with other hopefuls during the judges’ houses round – due to be broadcast tonight and tomorrow.

With hands held to her face, it looks as though the 17-year-old is about to find out whether she has made it into the 12. Wearing a pretty white top and her hair tied to one side, Cher is listening to every word Cheryl Cole has to say.

Cher, who has impressed the producers and judges from day one, is one of the most talked about contestants taking part in this series of the X Factor.

She was well-known in Worcestershire before the show began and is now famous across the country – more than five million people have watched her audition on video sharing website You Tube.

Millions more people have declared themselves fans on the social networking websites Facebook and Twitter.

The youngster, who attended the Chase High School and Dyson Perrins High School, is no stranger to competitions and previously took part in the school contest the Chase Factor, Worcestershire Pop Idols and Text Factor at Sin Bar in Worcester.

Tune into ITV1 from 7.05pm this evening to find out how Cher did.
