Cher Lloyd has admitted that she hopes to gain fame through The X Factor and hopefully become a world famous rapper one day.

The 16 year old from Malvern in Worcestershire was seen impressing Cheryl Cole, Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Natalie Imbruglia on tonight’s show. Cher sang Turn My Swag On by Soulja Boy. (The Keri Hilson version) and afterwards Cole told her:

“You are right up my street! You are actually my favourite audition so far. Little bit of attitude there, I like it.”

In an interview with The Sunday Mirror, Lloyd admitted that she loves Cheryl and enjoys the fact that many people think she resembles her.

She 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. It’s funny when people say I look like her – we’re ­different, but I’ll take it as a compliment.”

On her hopes for the future she added:

“I want to be the ­female equivalent of Dappy in N-Dubz. I can sing as well as rap, but I’d love to become a world-famous ­rapper, so that’s what I hope to achieve from the show.”

But she won’t be singing any songs by her namesake Cher. She said:

“I think I am named after Cher. I do know a few of her songs, but I’d draw the line at wearing a Cher outfit to a fancy dress party. Not cool.”
