Cher Lloyd announces she's welcomed baby girl and shares her adorable name

Former X Factor star Cher Lloyd has welcomed a baby girl and shared her adorable name.

The 30-year-old singer who shot to fame on the seventh season of the ITV talent show shared a sweet snap revealing the newborn’s tiny hands alongside the caption: “ELIZA VIOLET 9/9/23.”

The post has since been flooded with messages of congratulations and well-wishes, with one fan writing: “Congratulations to your new bundle of joy! Wishing you all so much love.”

Another said: “Congratulations Cher. Such wonderful news.”

While a third added: “Congratulations - absolutely love the name!! Enjoy it all.”

Little Eliza is the second child for Lloyd and husband Craig Monk.

Lloyd announced she was expecting back in April with a sweet video she posted to her Instagram page.

Showcasing her ultrasound scan with a knitted white baby co-ord set and a grey hat, fans were instantly in love.

Captioning the adorable video, Lloyd wrote: "Baby number 2, we can't wait to meet you."

Back in 2018, the X Factor alum announced her first pregnancy in a similar fashion.

Posting a photo of her bump the first time around, Lloyd wrote: "I'm so happy to announce that I now have a collection of amazing new songs (that I cannot wait to share with you all!), but also, there's another reason why I'm writing to you today and that's because I am beyond thrilled to inform you all that my husband Craig and I are also expecting our first child in May!!!"
