==Personal life==
In February 2012, Lloyd spoke out to [[BBC Radio]] on her consistent [[cyber-bullying]] and how she fears for her safety after becoming a victim of online bullying. "I'm public property and there's nothing I can do — I have got to deal with it." She continued: "The message that I have got for people is: I have always tried to act the hard person and that was just a front for me. It is about time now that I let people realise that I am a real person and if I can do it, with all these people that want a piece of me, then other victims can speak out as well. There have been many times when I have cried myself to sleep. I am very scared because I like to think people think I'm strong, because if they don't, then they might not think I can do it."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.co.uk/news/cher-lloyd/347053-cher-lloyd-online-bullying-x-factor-radio-1|work=Mtv|title=Cher Lloyd 'Fears For Her Safety' After Online Bullying}}</ref> Lloyd also spoke to ''[[Newsbeat]]'' on how she thinks the government should take more action in preventing cyber-bullying.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sugarscape.com/node/662092|title=CHER LLOYD: CYBER BULLYING DISGUSTS ME|work=sugarscape.com}}</ref>
