Cher Lloyd is expected to duet with Rihanna on her debut album and she is also looking to meet with Rihanna on her next trip to the US, reports suggest.

The X Factor finalist, who is to embark on the show’s live tour later this month, is said to be excited at the prospect of working with the American superstar.

A source told The Daily Star : “She’s obviously over the moon and is planning to meet up with Rihanna on her next visit to the States to talk about some potential material.”

“Rihanna is a big fan of Cher. She told will.i.am how much she loved her after her X Factor appearance.

“Will has since talked to Rihanna about the three of them working on a track for Cher’s album. Rihanna loves Cher’s style and edginess and thinks she has great potential.”

Lloyd recently revealed that she has worked with producers The Runners and RedOne on her debut album, which is due for release in August.
