X-Factor star Lloyd engaged

X FACTOR star Cher Lloyd has become engaged to her boyfriend, less than a year after they got together.

The singer, whose debut single, Swagger Jagger, went to the top of the charts last year, will marry hairdresser Craig Monk.

The 18-year-old started dating Monk, 21, last April. Lloyd, from Worcestershire, was a finalist in the 2010 X Factor and was signed by Syco Music after coming fourth in the ITV1 talent show.
