Cher Lloyd has got engaged.

The 'Swagger Jagger' hitmaker - who shot to fame when she finished fourth on 'X Factor' in 2010 - is reportedly in line to tie the knot with her hairdresser boyfriend Craig Monk after just over six months together.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Cher's been telling anyone who will listen that she's engaged to Craig, despite originally denying the news.

"She's head over heels and has been sporting an engagement ring since last month."

The 18-year-old singer has previously described Craig as the "bees knees" and she has been spotted wearing what appears to be an engagement ring.

Cher has previously said Craig - who she met in April last year - helps to keep her "sane" and described him as the "best thing ever".

She said: "My boyfriend keeps me sane she has said. He tells me to keep a grip, he'll say, You've got the best thing ever, realise you are the luckiest person ever'.

"He whips me back into shape a little bit."

Neither Cher or Craig have commented publically and the 'With Ur Love' hitmaker, who is usually an avid tweeter, has not posted on the social networking site since Monday (09.01.12).
