Cher Lloyd buddies up with Cheryl Cole's ex!

And the metamorphosis is complete! When Cher Lloyd first auditioned for The X Factor back in 2010, even Cheryl Cole thought the singer was a mini-version of herself.

Now, two years later, Cher has followed in her former X Factor mentor’s footsteps and become a television talent show judge in the US.

We think she looks like a spitting image of Cheryl sat behind the judging panel on the Disney talent show Make Your Mark: Shake It Up Dance Off!

It’s no secret that Cher and Cheryl had a feud in Febuary 2012 – Cheryl tweeted: ‘Be Careful who you kick on your way up .. They kick you twice as hard on your way back down.. #unappreciationisugly’ after Cher slammed her singing during a radio interview.

Things have reportedly been frosty between the pair since and Cher’s US TV success is bound to remind Cheryl of her own failure, as she was booted off the judging panel of the US X Factor in 2011.

As if that wasn’t bad enough for Cheryl, Cher will be sitting on the judging panel with Cheryl’s former flame, Derek Hough. Ouch, talk about being overshadowed!

Make Your Mark: Shake It Up Dance Off sees young hopefuls showcasing their dance skills in hope of winning the competition. It may not be the X Factor but the show features a star-studded line up of judges including Justin Bieber, will.i.am, Selena Gomez and, of course, our very own Cher!

Season three of Shake It Up premieres on 23 November on Disney Channel UK.
