FORMER X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd has announced a tour next year that reaches the O2 Academy Bournemouth on April 11.

The singer will be joined on stage by special guests. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am, priced at £15.50.

In August, Cher landed the number one spot in the charts with her debut single, Swagger Jagger.

The 18-year-old rocketed to fame after appearing on last year’s X Factor with her edgy and often bizarre performances on the televised talent show, finishing fourth.
