Fan frenzy: Cher Lloyd and Katie Waissel are bombarded with fans during their shopping trip in Nottingham


Cher Lloyd and Katie Waissel have had their ups and downs throughout their X Factor friendship but the girls looked like BFFs during their latest girls’ day out.

The singers decided to hit the shops in Nottingham while on a break from their X Factor tour to top up their spring wardrobes.

And their popularity seems to be stronger than ever as they were mobbed by a group of young fans on the street.

It was no surprise that their fans spotted the girls, as their hair and outfits were definitely aimed at grabbing attention.

Cher’s fiery red locks were as fluorescent as ever, while Katie’s do was her usual bleach blonde shade, which she accessorised with a floral bandanna.

And Cher, 17, tried to quash concerns over her weight by wearing an oversized top with an animated burger printed on it.

But despite her apparent love for burgers, the talent show star accentuated her stick thin legs with a pair of skin tight stone-wash jeans.

Meanwhile, 24-year-old Katie also showed off her pins in black skinny jeans and a brown and black striped top.

The friends had changed their outfits from their morning ensembles, which saw Cher wearing a pair of blue tracksuit bottoms and a Jack Wills T-shirt and Katie sporting a different T-shirt than her afternoon selection.

And One Direction’s Niall Horan also made a stop into Jack Wills to go shopping, while wearing a T-Shirt branded with ‘EFF OFF’ across his chest.

The girls made the most of the warm spring day by strolling around in the sunshine chatting to their fans.

And after finishing their Nottingham performance with their fellow former X Factor contestants, the group will hit Newcastle upon Tyne on Friday, Aberdeen on Sunday and Glasgow and Cardiff next week.

During last year’s ITV talent show, Katie and Cher faced several rows and at one point were not on speaking terms due to Katie’s reported diva-like behaviour.

While Katie thought Cher was getting preferential treatment by their mentor Cheryl Cole, but since the show ended in December, the girls have become close allies.
