Cher Lloyd is pregnant with her first child.

The singer, who found fame on The X Factor, decided to reveal her happy news by posting an announcement on Instagram.

'I am beyond thrilled to inform you all that my husband Craig and I are also expecting our first child in May,' she wrote.

'We are absolutely over the moon to share this news with you all. I am so excited to enter this new chapter in my life, surrounded by family I love, a supportive team around me and with music I've worked super hard on and am so excited and proud to reveal to you later in the year.

In the picture that she uploaded alongside her statement, Cher can be seen gently touching her blossoming bump.

The mum-to-be flashes a sweet smile in the black and white image, which sees her casually dressed in a vest top.

Cher's followers were obviously delighted to learn that the 24-year-old brunette is going to be a mum.

The post was flooded with comments, including one from Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall.

'Congratulations xxx,' the 25-year-old, who also found fame while competing on The X Factor said.

Plenty of Cher's non-famous followers also left kind words.

'I'm due in may too (the 9th) and i certainly don't look as glowing as you do. Congratulations xxx,' one said.

Another added: 'Wow absolutely beautiful bump and beautiful woman @cherlloyd a huge congratulations.'

Cher tied the knot with the father of her soon-to-be-born child in 2013 when she was 20.

The union was confirmed by a spokesperson, who said: 'Cher and Craig are married but all other details are private.' For the ceremony, Cher wore a fitted white strapless gown. Craig, 26, works as a hair stylist.
