Cher Lloyd steps up US assault with Ellen DeGeneres and Jay Leno slots

 
The former X Factor contestant is going down a storm across the pond and joined Ellen on her chatshow to perform her song Want U Back.

Cher dressed to impress, wearing a short pink dress and white top during her performance, before being joined by the host, who was clutching a copy of her album Sticks + Stones.

The album is due out in America today and the 19-year-old is hoping it will chart higher than the number four it reached in the UK last year.

She later appeared on Jay Leno's Tonight Show later the same day, again singing Want U Back, but sporting an obligatory outfit change, this time appearing in a tie-dye playsuit.
Her action-packed day follows on from her debut TV appearance in the US on America's Got Talent back in July, which helped her secure a number 12 spot for the single.

Cher is the latest Simon Cowell protégé to start making waves in the US, following on from the success of fellow X Factor contestants One Direction.
The boys have made a host of celebrity fans as well as wowing the public, with Justin Bieber hanging out with the band.
