Cher Lloyd plays it coy as she's reunited with boyfriend Karim Roundi at Heathrow

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Playing it cool: Cher Lloyd is reunited with boyfriend Karim Roundi at Heathrow Airport on Saturday after three weeks in the U.S.


They've spent half of their six week relationship apart.

But X Factor reject Cher Lloyd was reunited with new boyfriend Karim Roundi at Heathrow Airport today after a few weeks Stateside

After three weeks recording her debut album in Miami and LA, the 17-year-old looked thrilled to be back with her 'Essex socialite' boyfriend Roundi, 20.

But it appears the couple were rather reluctant to cosy up for their first public appearance together and coyly held hands as they were surrounded by paparazzi in the arrivals lounge.

Despite the 10 hour long haul flight, Cher was in good spirits as she smiled for photographers at Heathrow.

Before boarding her flight at LAX, she joked on her Twitter: 'Just got stopped at security cos my pants were too baggy ha!'

But there was no mention of her new boyfriend who picked her up from the airport.
Worcestershire teen Lloyd was introduced to Roundi by Richardson backstage at The X Factor final on December 12.

However, just weeks into their romance, waitress Kate Cross, 21, alleged she slept with Roundi just five days after he started dating Cher.

Fellow X Factor contestant Paije Richardson - who introduced the young lovebirds - insisted Roundi's brief encounter with Cross took place before he started dating Cher

Although coming in fourth place on The X Factor and narrowly escaping being voted off after voting figures revealed her sporadic popularity, Lloyd has signed a record deal with Syco.

Her debut album will be released on Simon Cowell's record label on August 22, 2011 - according to Amazon.co.uk, which is taking pre-orders on the as-yet-untitled disc.

The album will go on sale two months before actual X Factor winner Matt Cradle's debut is released on October 24.

The teenager has spent the past three weeks working on her album with a selection of top rappers.

The 51-gig tour will kicks off February 19 at Birmingham's LG Arena, before ending in Cardiff's CIA on April 10.
