Cher Lloyd makes a rare appearance as she is seen for the first time since releasing her new music.
The X Factor star, 32, who hit out at Simon Cowell in January, has made a slow return to the spotlight with her single Green Light dropping in April.
Heading to a retail park near her Midlands home on Tuesday, she dressed casually in a Adidas jumper.
Cher teamed it with a pair of loose fitting jeans, black Adidas trainers and pulled her hair back into a low ponytail.
The Swagger Jagger singer, who shot to fame on the ITV talent show back in 2010, has kept a low profile in recent years until releasing her new music.
In January she premiered her single Head Down, which was followed by Green Light in April.

In January she appeared to hit out at Simon Cowell in her single, Head Down, in which she sings ‘You sold me the dream, I was just seventeen, chewed me up, spit me out’.
She is famed for first stepping on the X-Factor stage at 16 in 2010 and impressing Cheryl Cole, Simon, and Louis Walsh with her song, Turn My Swag On.
She went on to place fourth and signed with Cowell’s record label Syco Music but left three years later after the young singer revealed she and the music mogul, 65, had disagreed about her career path and how she couldn’t handle that level of ‘control’.
More than 12 years later she wrote the following lyrics in her song, ‘You sold me the dream, I was just seventeen,’ which was the age the Swagger Jagger singer was when she was working with Cowell.
In a TikTok video promoting her new single, which is part of her upcoming third studio album, she said: ‘I wrote this song about when it feels like you’re the only one when it feels like you’ve hit a brick wall.
‘The music industry can be dark at times. Some of the stories may never be told but mine is yours to hear.’
The lyrics continue: ‘All the tears I cried, you wasted my time and I still pay the price, I used to play your game and nothin’ seems to change.’
The same year she left Cowell’s label, Cher married her boyfriend of less than two years, Craig Monk, and in May 2018 they welcomed their first daughter, Delilah-Rae. Their second daughter, Eliza Violet was born in 2023.

Cher delighted her fans earlier this month when she announced plans to release new music – over a decade after the release of her last album.
Taking to Instagram, Cher shared a stunning selfie and wrote: ‘Happy new year! I think it’s time for some new music…. this is not a drill!!’
Cher, who found fame on The X Factor in 2010, released her debut album Sticks And Stones the following year which featured the number one single Swagger Jagger.
She released her second album Sorry I’m Late in 2014 which reached number 21 on the UK Albums Chart.
