Cher has break down at Chez's

CHER Lloyd has admitted that Cheryl Cole had to wipe her tears away after she messed up her performance at judges' houses.
The X Factor favourite struggled with throat problems during an R Kelly song in front of her mentor and Will.i.am at the next stage of the contest, which will air at the weekend.

She burst into tears after her song went wrong.

Cher, 17, told X magazine: "Cheryl held me so tightly. I wiped the tears from her eyes and she wiped the tears from mine. I've never felt like that before."

But despite her problems she still gained the support of Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am.

He told Cheryl: "I really liked her. It seems she's a bit scared. But she's a pop star."

Meanwhile, guest judge Pixie Lott is also backing Cher.

She said: "Cher was wicked, wasn't she?"

The singer told the magazine Cher's performance was "so cool and unique", adding: "I think she could win the show."
