She's set to welcome her first child this May with her husband Craig Monk.

The former X Factor star, 24, looked incredible in her casual attire, placing one hand on her hip as she displayed her pregnancy figure.

Cher embraced comfort by completing the look with a pair of black trainers.

She wore her long locks down in tumbling curls and kept her make-up simple and elegant.

The star's fans were quick to compliment her, branding the Worcester-born star 'beautiful' and to wish her luck for the birth.  

The star was last seen three months ago when she appeared on Lorraine.

The expectant mother was propelled to fame on the seventh series of The X Factor in 2010 when she was mentored by the Fight For This Love hitmaker. 

She told the presenter: 'I can't believe X Factor was nine years ago. It feels like it was five minutes ago! Now my baby is due in May, which is just around the corner, I'm so happy and I'm only 24.'

The singer has been happily married for five years since she tied the knot with Craig in a romantic ceremony in November 2013.

Of her husband, Cher explained: 'We come from such different backgrounds. I’m so lucky. We’re a solid team, we’re starting a "journey" together. It's a new start. This year will be five years marriage. I knew he was the one straight away he was the one.'

Explained: It is no surprise the X Factor hopeful also spoke out about her former coach Cheryl and Liam Payne's relationship woes

Since her appearance on The X Factor in 2010, Cher became locked in a bitter feud with her mentor Cheryl for six years.

With the singers finally put an end to their war of words in December 2016, it is of little surprise Cher had something to say on her former mentor's relationship with Liam Payne, which was rumoured to be on the rocks.  

Of Liam and Cheryl, she said: 'I never would have guessed it, Liam and Cheryl look so cute together.

'I haven’t heard from her in a long time, she’s so busy with her baby. Just to see what everyone’s doing since being on that show.'

Cheryl and Liam were recently plagued with split rumours with insiders telling MailOnline they struggle to find quality time together.

Their relationship is reportedly 'strained' as the new parents juggle their busy careers as they care for their young son Bear, now one.

Former One Direction star Liam has been spending nights away and touring the world to promote his solo album while Cheryl looks after their son. 

The source told MailOnline: 'Cheryl basically went into hibernation when she got pregnant and has made the decision to be a stay at home mother with no nanny and is looking after bear herself. She doesn't like going out much as she used to.'

In the face of split rumours, the pair defiantly took to the red carpet to put on a united front at the BRIT Awards.

However, many accused the couple of putting on too much of an amorous display when they packed on the PDA.

It was reported they stayed in separate accommodation that night, with Cheryl said to have made the journey to their Surrey mansion alone.

Meanwhile, Liam reportedly stayed at a hotel near London Heathrow ahead of his working trip to the States. 

Old friends: Cher added, 'I haven’t heard from her in a long time, she’s so busy with her baby. Just to see what everyone’s doing since being on that show'

Elsewhere, Cher discussed the possibility of making a return to The X Factor as a judge in the future.

She said: 'I definitely know the pressure even filling the form to audition, enough pressure as it is. It’s really different to think about judging someone else.

'Even years down the line, I still don’t feel like I've learnt everything, even though I am working on third album.'
