She's been famous for five minutes and didn't even win the X Factor - but Cher Lloyd was flying first class from Miami to Los Angeles earlier today.
The wannabe popstar had been over on the American east coast making a start on her debut album, and was heading west to work with Black Eyed Pea Will.I.Am.
But considering the 17-year-old was a student prior to appearing on the ITV1 talent show, one can only presume that her record label or Will himself footed the £1,500 bill.
Will was battling it out with fellow hiphop behemoth Jay-Z to sign Cher, despite the fact she only came fourth on the show.
However, in the end, the Malvern, Worcestershire, lass decided to plump for Simon Cowell's Syco media conglomerate instead.

Cher is said to be rehearsing with producer RedOne, who has worked with former X Factor contestant Alexandra Burke as well as Lady Gaga.
Since jetting out to Miami over the weekend, the singer has also been busy with a number of meetings as well as hitting the recording studio.
And having made a reputation for herself as a diva backstage on the X Factor, it seems Cher's continued as she means to go on, and was spotted walking ahead as a poor lackey lugged the singer's luggage around after her.
