Cher Lloyd has said that she regrets her “aggressive” and “cocky” behaviour.
The 19-year-old singer, who came fourth on singing competition The X-Factor in 2010, admits that she let her success go to her head when she first shot to fame.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper, Cher said: ''I was an absolute b**ch. I raise my hands up to it. I was aggressive, I was cocky. I put my foot in it. I built up this big persona of 'I'm The Bees knees' and then I had to deal with it and pick up the pieces.
''It wasn't the person I am - I put it on because I was terrified every single day that I was on the TV show.
''I read the papers and I looked online and I almost didn't believe it was me... I was aggressive and I thought the whole world was against me and I don't know why. It was weird.''
The Want U Back singer was recently pelted with bottles full of urine during her live performance at the V Festival in Chelmsford, Essex, but Cher explained that she is confident she can win over the British public.
Lloyd added: ''I was very upset but a year or two ago I would have thrown the bottles back. Now I know how to cope with things like that.
''It's going to take time over here to win people over.''
