cher close to collapse after result show..

Cher Lloyd was apparently close to collapse after Sunday night's X Factor results show.

The 17-year-old is said to have burst into tears, started shaking hysterically, screamed at passers-by and collapsed backstage after it was announced that she had got through to next week's show.

Lloyd even needed the support of a crew member as a "human crutch" in order to get to her waiting car, according to the Daily Star, and show bosses are becoming increasingly worried about her fragile condition.

A source said: "It's not looking good for her. She may have an amazing voice on stage but once the bright lights are off she is a wreck. We don't know how she is going to last until Christmas."

Another insider added: "Cher is a real cause for concern now. Her mood swings, tantrums and now this collapse are adding up."

Lloyd won rave reviews from the judges for her performance of 'Just Be Good To Me' on Saturday's first live show, for which she was reportedly given vitamin injections to combat her nerves.

[SacredDiablo]

get the **** out of the show bitch!

[HBB1508]

I can only hope they kick her off and send her home.

[ChristmasNeeve]

it was pretty obvious that she wasn't ready for it at judges homes. She looks ill, like she isn't eating properly as well.

[Legend killer]

Give her a good fry-up and tell her to **** off

[ChristmasNeeve]

yeah, LK I can't see what all the fuss is about her at all, he voice is average at best imo

Totally agree IMO she is one of the worst singers in this year's show, yet ppl bang on about her as if she is the best thing since sliced bread. I hope the X-factor ppl step in soon to remove her not just for the reason that i dont like her , but for the fact she looks in a really bad way

You are spot on. I just cannot see how the judges cannot see this as well, she looks as if she is near a nervous breakdown, I don't see her getting better either as the pressure increases week by week,it doesn't get easier.

I wondered if she has an eating disorder, she looks painfully thin

[fruit_cake]

she's definately got the 'annorexic' look about her.

[ChristmasNeeve]

she's definately got the 'annorexic' look about her.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of hers but I'm not saying it to be be bitchy, she just looks far too thin imo I wonder if the X-Factor people check the contestants out mentally and physically?

[SacredDiablo]

dun know why but i just prefer katie than her! anyone shares the same sentiment? :conf:

[ChristmasNeeve]

dun know why but i just prefer katie than her! anyone shares the same sentiment? :conf:

Not really a fan of either tbh but If I had to choose one over the other talent wise, I think Katie has a better voice

[SacredDiablo]

i didnt like both but somehow im beginning to like katie more..... and she belted out a note which amazed me during her singoff.... however i still detest cher and will always....

[Tom4784]

I struggle to believe stories like this, It's easy to say it's from a source within the show since the media are allowed to keep the identity of 'sources' quiet. Even when they do lie and statements get released denying the story that's still a story in itself.

File this and any tabloid claiming they have 'insiders' in the 'sure to be 99% BS' folder. If there was any real concern they'd have concrete proof of it and X Factor wouldn't risk it after Shirlena and Susan Boyle.

[stewart64]

she's definately got the 'annorexic' look about her.

I can't believe that the producers of the programme haven't taken this more seriously. Cher has to be all of six stone, her head is a lollipop and her arms are like sticks. What a disaster for the programme if we have a Karen Carpenter style heart attack to deal with.

If a contestant was on drugs they would be evicted but she is playing roulette with her life tenfold on drugs.

I am her biggest fan, but the producers must make har eat and weigh her to make sure she is.

[setanta]

No wonder she's cranky, moody and prone to the odd tantrum or two. I'd be the same if I was living on fresh air. Honestly don't think the girl is fit for a demanding show like this and Cheryl was wrong to put her through.

No doubt Cheryl has gone down the eating disorder route herself and likely to sympathise. But there should be a minimum weight requirement with reference to height , just as the suggested controls on models.

I somehow doubt it, and the thing is that I can't even imagine how physically and mentally exhausting a show like the X Factor would be for even the strongest of individuals, so what it's doing to her tiny frame and obviously nerve shattered mind? Nah, big mistaketo put her through.

[Vicky.]

Cher is absolutely useless. She cannot rap, her voice is average, and she looks like skeletore with eyelashes.

Gamu should be there instead of her. For cheryl to even consider putting this fail through to the live shows after what happened at judges houses...when she wouldnt even come back to try a THIRD time at a song she messed up (yeah, she had a bad throat, but she could have at least shown that she wanted to try)...is just ridiculous. What a pathetic judge she is this year.

Gamu looked every bit like a cliche or someone trying to do a young Diana Ross in the Supremes in Stars in their Eyes. Cher is her own person and new, she should have been given the nod over a copy cat.

I worry her tiny body will not take it and snap, other than the health risks though, Cheryl was spot on. And that goes for Katie too.

If cher could sing, then I would agree. Yeah, originals over copies anyday. As it stands, she cant sing, forgets her words, and doesnt even try to sort it out when she screws up. And thinks she can rap, when it is just embarrassing to watch.

Noone else would have been put through after such a dreadful bootcamp/judges houses audition.

I still didnt see Gamu as a copy though...

[Thotmas]

Look just take her off the show. She's mentally unstable and will go into complete depression if she doesn't win.

Sense before money and ratings people!! Or does the unstable rule only apply to less "marketable" people? :rolleyes:

Cher is not THAT original sorry.

[stewart64]

Cher is not THAT original sorry.

Not really qualified to disagree, and quite a few acts do weird. But she stands out IMO.

[_Seth]

You'd think the stupid bitch would be happy. :laugh:

[MissKittyFantastico]

She's way too thin, apparently is completely obsessed with Cheryl and has done everything she can to look exactly like her, she barely eats and has had to have vitamin injections to cope with the physical side of being in the competition. She's already breaking down, having diva tantrums and looking pretty unstable. I'd say some serious questions need to be asked about the psychologists etc that work behind the scenes.

[Stephanie]

we're not even at week 2 yet. deary me :joker:

According to an 'insider' for a tabloid. Take anything you hear with a pinch of salt as newspapers rarely face any consequences for stories like this as they never have to declare their 'sources'.

You're better off discarding anything you hear from those parasites about anything until something respectable backs it up.

[Livia]

Close to collapse with embarrassment, presumably. Or malnutrition. I could probably care less... but not much less.

Yeah, yeah I know some of this has been reported in the papers, but just by looking at her I think you can tell she's terribly fragile and I do question how she would cope if she was to end up at the bottom next week, or be sent home. A lot of it is based on my own observation and gut feeling, but I take your point lol.

[Z]

She looks anorexic, I don't need a newspaper to tell me that.

I think she might just be a petite girl, Considering the heat Syco got for Susan Boyle & Shirlena they wouldn't have let her through if they didn't think she was capable.

absolutely, she does not look healthy at all.

[SacredDiablo]

i think shirlena johnson is much more normal than her

[MissKittyFantastico]

Nah I don't think so, there's petite and then there's looking like you might snap at any moment and Cher definitely fits into the latter for me. She's so painfully pale and thin it just makes me worried for her tbh. And the SuBo argument doesn't really wash with me, I honestly believe that if it came down to a choice of someone's mental welfare and ratings, SyCo would still put the ratings first. Or maybe I'm just way too cynical lol.

[Kazanne]

dun know why but i just prefer katie than her! anyone shares the same sentiment? :conf:

Yes,I prefer Katie.

I think they would of if Shirlena's problems didn't come to light but if they promised better care for the contestants and something happened to one of the youngest contestants they'd never recover from it. If she didn't pass the psych tests and stuff like that but she was still put through Syco would be given hell over it.

If there was any real danger of Cher breaking down or not being able to hack it then they wouldn't have put her through if the signs were there to begin with.

Hmmmm you obviously have more faith in them than I do then. We've seen this before, and all the contestants are meant to have psych tests etc, how did SuBo get past them? Not just on the X Factor but in BB and other reality shows as well, people always slip through the net. I'm not saying they don't care about them at all, but I do think they would take a chance and just keep a really close eye on them.

Not faith, I just know how it works. They wouldn't risk a scandal that could damage them after having their knuckles rapped earlier in the same series.

For your BB example it was only really BB7 that had that scandal, they learnt from their mistakes and they didn't dare risk it again intentionally. With so many headlines about Cher's health, they couldn't exactly feign ignorance if those stories had a grain of truth to them. they really wouldn't risk such backlash over one contestant.

Well I hope you're right is all I can say, because to me she looks like a girl dangerously on the edge. And that's not even coming from reading stuff in the papers, for me just looking at her I get the feeling she's not right.

[_Seth]

I hope she gets ejected from the competition and Nicolo is brought back. :D

[Jack_]

As Dezzy has been saying, I very much doubt they would risk letting an unstable seventeen year old participate in one of, if not the biggest television show in the country. They'd receive massive backlash if it were found out she was actually mentally unfit/unstable. She's thin...but not scarily thin. I've seen worse. Oh, and I think she's just...weird, not mentally unstable.

Yeah, just because someone's thin it doesn't make them anorexic. I know how PR and publicity works and it would be a DISASTER if Cher was as unstable as the tabloids say.

It's just the tabloids creating a narrative so they can sort out a few future articles on the matter.

[Locke.]

Doesn't look anorexic at all, just because she isn't fat... Most girls her age are about the same as she is these days.

Wouldn't be surprised if it were true though, and she's extremely skinny, which is bound to go against her with such a grueling and mentally exerting schedule to contend with. Nah, just from looking at her and her posture you know that all is not well there.

really? I would say she is scarily thin, look at this picture, she has no shape at all

You can't really say either way though as we don't know her, she might just have a high metabolism. All I know is that these allegations could have a dangerous effect if they're not true, it's like saying she's fat. In the end it's going to encourage her to have a difficult relationship with food.

If she is ill then I hope she gets better but all we've had to go on is a bunch of tabloid 'insiders' and the power of suggestion that she's anorexic and unstable. It's not enough either way.

[Stephanie]

..she is scarily thin wtf.

I'm not judging it on them though; just have my own feelings relating to her appearance and mannerisms. Obviously I'll reserve judgement but yeah, I'd be willing to put a small wager on her having serious issues with food and with her ability to cope on a show like this.

[Novo]

I have seen her naked and a can safely say she has a great body

Ah, so that's why she looks so wrecked... the love doctor gave her a good seeing to!

I might be wrong but aren't the arms a give away if you're unhealthily skinny? They should be more vein-y if it was the case.

Don't take it as gospel but I think it could just be her body shape.

As I've said...I've seen much worse.

Infact there are numerous people that I know that are the same shape as Cher, and are all in perfectly good health.

[Joelle.]

"Cher close to collapse"

So close and yet so far, shame. Either way she needs to get the **** off my TV screen. She cannot rap, cannot sing, cannot dance, looks like a bug eyed, skeletal version of Cheryl, and above all thinks she is the bees ****ing knees! :devil:

[Patrick]

Well obviously you would get through, why the shock Cher babe?

But don't worry, I'll be your human crutch and carry you to the car or wherever else you have in mind whenever you want Cher ;)




*Leaves Dream*

Oh I'm on TiBB :(

Really? I don't see many girls walking around that are as thin as she is.

[Jamietwo]

a friend of a friend overheard a conversation in a pub that she was found outside ones of those north london dance hall clubs drunk and crying with some blood in her underpants.
