Cher Lloyd Engaged To Hairdresser Craig Monk

X Factor star Cher Lloyd has reportedly got engaged to her boyfriend Craig Monk after dating for just nine months.

According to reports, the 18-year-old singer, who first went public with her relationship last June, has taken her romance with the trainee hairdresser to the next level after falling head over heels in love.

The Swagger Jagger hitmaker has not hidden the fact that she is very much 'in love' and that the relationship is 'serious' in various recent interviews. In August 2011 she gushed that Craig was 'the bee's knees'.

She also revealed to the Mail Online in November last year that her beau helped her stay grounded and cope better with her celebrity lifestyle.

At the time she told the paper: 'My boyfriend keeps me sane.

"He tells me to keep a grip, he'll say "You've got the best thing ever, realise you are the luckiest person ever," she added.
