4) She was inspired by Nicki Minaj, who she said "changed pop music," adding that "no one was doing what she was doing, and then she came in and it was kind of one of those things where people were like, 'Whoa! She just changed pop music.' And she did! There's no denying it."

5) She also revealed in an interview that she is a fan of Dolly Parton.

6) She rose to fame in 2010 when she finished fourth in the seventh series of The X Factor.

7) Lloyd had previously auditioned for The X Factor before (when the minimum age was lower), singing ballads, but did not make it through. She has previously performed at holiday camps and said she gets a mixed reaction to her music, but was a big hit with X Factor judges at the time.

21) One food that she hates? Salt and vinegar chips!

22) Her favourite type of food is Chinese.

23) She loves to snack on Lays chips and Snickers late at night!

24) She's scared of the dark.

43) She doesn't like Christmas songs because they're "too cheesy". - Neither do we, unless it's Christmas.

45) Her full name is Cher Lloyd - so, no stage name there.
