Perez and Cher!

After we spent most of Sunday working on our Golden Globes coverage, we had the pleasure to meet up with our favorite contestant this past season on X Factor U.K., Cher Lloyd.

We got to have dinner and properly hang, and it was great to hear all that she’d been up to!

Unlike most other X Factor contestants, she IMMEDIATELY began working on her solo album after the show.

And, she’s going in with some super stellar people, not just the big name producers and obvious choices.

We can’t wait to hear what she comes up with!

We expect great things from Miz Cher Lloyd!
