Spot the difference: Cher Lloyd stepped out earlier this week wearing a fluffy white headband almost identical to the one worn by Cheryl Cole last December


She may no longer have Cheryl Cole as a mentor, given that the X Factor finished months ago, but it seems Cher Lloyd is still taking inspiration from the Girls Aloud star.

Cher, 17, stepped out on Tuesday wearing a white furry headband almost identical to the one sported by Cheryl in December.

The teenager was out in Sheffield fitting in some shopping time with fellow singer Katie Waissel ahead of the X Factor live performance on Tuesday.

It's not the first time a similarity has been detected in the way that Cheryl and Cher dress.

From Cher's very first X Factor audition, the teenager was immediately likened to the 27-year-old singer, and did little to detract from the comparison in the following months.

However, after Cher was spotted out in a pair of red lace-up boots donated by Cheryl, the petite star came forward to insist she is her own fashion icon.

She said last year: 'I don't model myself on her. I think she's an amazing woman to look at, but I'm myself.'

Cher has been appearing throughout the UK on the X Factor tour alongside fellow stars including Katie, Mary Byrne, Wagner, Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle.

But it was recently reported the teenager has been causing issues with some of the X Factor, after boasting about her recent trip to LA which saw her record songs with Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am and producer Red One.

A source told Star magazine: 'It’s as if Cher things she’s too big for this tour. She struts around like she owns the stage.

'It makes the other singers so angry - they barely speak to her. She seems to have let it all go to her head and has been acting like a total diva.'

Mary Byrne, who won the public over with her outgoing personality and impressive voice, also spoke recently about Cher, and admitted she had caused some problems when they all lived together in the X Factor house.

Mary said: 'Cher was being a little bit of a missy. People were talking about her thinness and she started talking about fat people.

'And, you know, I’m a big woman, which she got quite abrupt about, so I said to her, “You know, every one of us has something wrong with us, there’s none of us perfect and you can’t keep putting other people down because you’re feeling low. That’s bullying”.’
