War of words: Cher faced the wrath of angry Cher Lloyd fans when she tweet 'Who or what is Cher LLoyd'


She has enjoyed number one hits across six decades, earned an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and an Emmy and experienced success as a director and record producer - but it appears that Cher’s achievements do not matter to Cher Lloyd fans.

The 64-year-old pop legend was unaware of the existence of the 17-year-old X Factor singer but after feeling the wrath of British teens she certainly does know now.

Cher, who found fame in 1965 with the smash hit I Got You Babe, took to Twitter to ask: ‘who or What is Cher Lloyd?’


The singing and actress, who had clearly missed the U.K. version of the X Factor and seemed oblivious to Miss Lloyd, was then hounded by angry teens who adore the reality Factor star.

Gossip blogger Perez Hilton came to Cher’s rescue to clarify things and posted: ‘There is only one @cher! And then there's @CherLloyd!’

Twitter user HugerCherBrats responded by saying: ‘@PerezHilton hey, hey, There is only one amazing Cher and thats CHER LLOYD.’

While the original Cher tried to explain to furious X Factor teens that she didn’t mean to upset anyone other users pointed out that despite Cher’s extensive career and worldwide success her Twitter followers were less than Cher Lloyds 290,000.

Cher tweeted: ‘Ok,got Cher Lloyd, I guess I live in a cave. No Disrespect meant!’

She also thanked her friend Perez for sticking up for her against the angry British teenagers.

She messaged:@PerezHilton thanx Babe ! That was so sweet of u (sic)! But There truly is lots a rm(sic) ! Its a Big planet !’

The reality TV star, who is thought to have been named after the Burlesque star, appeared to be oblivious to the fury that her fans were waging on her behalf.

'Look, I do eat, honest!' Cher Lloyd points at the large portion of chips she was seen scoffing in Brighton yesterday


Meanwhile Cher seemed determined to prove the doubters wrong by getting stuck into some chips as she walked along Brighton seafront earlier yesterday.

The 17-year-old flame-haired star was tucking into a large portion of the traditional seaside snack ahead of the X Factor Live date at the Brighton Centre last night, where she'll be joined by other finalists from last year's show.

However, the greasy fare could certainly explain why the star has been sporting such a spotty complexion of late, if not her underweight body.

Ever since the wannabe superstar auditioned on The X Factor, there have been worries about her slender figure with fears that she could be suffering from an eating disorder.

The fears weren't exactly eased when Cher pulled out of the tour's date in Manchester on Tuesday after falling ill.

Officially, a throat infection was blamed. But many people - including fellow contestants - have been worried that the frail teen simply isn't eating enough.

Nevertheless, the former student from Malvern, Worcesteshire, insisted last year: 'I am eating. There is no problem. Of course I am eating I wouldn’t be able to perform if I wasn’t.'

And the pint-sized popstrel seemed determined to allay rumours that her no-show was nothing to do with a lack of food by shoving down the deep fried al fresco snack today.

However, Cher was covering up her lack of curves with baggy casual wear - and and her rather spotty complexion with her usual heavy foundation.

The star was wearing a grey marl padded bodywarmer, grey marl sweatpants, a lemon yellow and grey marl striped top and tan coloured Adidas trainers to go with her over-sized designer handbag.

Her hair was scraped back into a rather harsh high pony tail, much like the 1990s fabled 'Croydon facelift' hair style.

Cher was also wearing clashing bright pink lipstick with clashed somewhat with her magenta dyed hair.

She's on the road on the X Factor Live tour with Katie Waissel, Aiden Grimshaw, Rebecca Ferguson, Matt Cardle, Paige Richardson, Mary Byrne, Wagner and One Direction.
