Cher Lloyd becomes first-time mum as she gives birth to baby girl

Cher Lloyd has become a first-time mum after giving birth to a baby girl.

The former X Factor singer, who married Craig Monk in 2013, posted a message online announcing the birth.

She shared an image of her new arrival, named Delilah-Rae, in a pink outfit with a cuddly rabbit next to her.

“Our baby girl is here!” the star tweeted to her 7.65 million followers on Monday following the birth on Friday.

"We are so in love.... Delilah-Rae 25.05.18."

Lloyd revealed her pregnancy in January, saying at the time that she and Monk were "beyond thrilled" about becoming parents.

The singer finished in fourth place in the X Factor in 2010.
