X Factor's Cher Lloyd forces fans to double take as they mistake her for Ariana Grande

Cher Lloyd has dramatically switched up her look in a new Instagram post causing fans to mistake her for Ariana Grande.

The former X Factor star - who first appeared on our TV screens in 2010 - left her social media followers stunned as she channelled major Ari vibes with her high pony tail and chiselled cheek bones.

Taking to Instagram, Cher shared two snaps with her 2.2 million followers in which she rocked a long high pony tail that strongly resembled the Stuck With U singer's barnet.

The 27-year-old looked incredible as she posed up a storm in her daring PVC outfit for a new music video of hers.

Sharing the snaps on social media, she penned: “Thanks so much for all the love on One Drink Away.”

Naturally, the snap sent fans wild with excitement, as most couldn't help but point out the striking resemblance to Ariana.

One fan wrote: "You look like Ariana Grande here!!"

Another agreed, writing: "I thought this was Ariana for a sec!! You look amazing," alongside a heart emoji.

A third added: "I dead thought she kinda looked like Ariana grande for a second."

While another added: "Looks like arianna grande in side to side music video."

It's safe to say Cher looks world apart from when she first stepped on the X Factor stage more than a decade ago.

The mum-of-one recently opened up about her experience on the hit talent show, as she confessed it was mentally damaging for her.

She says she crumbled after being "thrown to the wolves".

She went on to land a record deal with  Simon Cowell ’s Syco label after finishing fourth in the seventh series of the long-running talent contest.

Cher, 26, is planning a comeback 10 years on from her edgy performances in front of the judges.
