CHER Lloyd has opened up about her childhood and life since being on the X Factor. The pop star, now 31, rose to fame at 16 years old after appearing on the show. But now she's sat down with therapist Paul C. Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast to share how her upbringing and the show shaped her life.

Cher grew up in Worcestershire on a council estate with her three siblings and mum and dad but admits that it was 'troubling' at times. She said: " I grew up in a council house on a council estate and not always is that a negative thing. "I made lots of friends on the council estate, we all looked after each other if you ever needed anything you could just pop two doors down and say mum's run out of sugar can we have some sugar and everyone would help each other out.

"But at the same time, I did grow up around things that I feel now as an adult and as a mother children probably shouldn't ever be exposed to.". She revealed her dad was often not around while she was growing up due to the fact he spent many periods in prison.

"He was a great dad though, he only ever showed me love and affection and I hold no grudge at all to my father and the relationship I have with my parents today," she continued. She revealed her childhood gave her the thick skin she needed to deal with the X Factor.
