X Factor star Cher Lloyd was in a terrifying car crash when the brakes on her car failed.
The mother of two, 30, shared a warning with her 2.8million Instagram followers on Tuesday night as she revealed she was in her £40,000 Ford Ranger with her two daughters Delilah-Rae, five, and Eliza Violet, eight months.
Explaining what happened, she shared a photo of her car and wrote: ‘This is my Ford Ranger. My brakes totally failed with no warning while driving with my baby and my 5-year-old.
‘Total engine failure due to the wet belt. To anyone who owns one or is thinking of buying one, BEWARE! I’m counting my lucky stars that my family is safe.’
‘This beautiful vehicle, however, has retired well before her time @forduk.’

Explaining what happened, she shared a photo of her car and wrote: ”Total engine failure due to the wet belt. To anyone who owns one or is thinking of buying one, BEWARE!’
She later shared a smiling selfie of herself with her baby Eliza Violet to reassure her fans that the family were uninjured.
The former X Factor star welcomed her second daughter with her husband Craig Monk in September, five years after the birth of her first child.
Cher and her husband Craig surprised fans when they tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in November 2013.
She now looks worlds away from her time on The X Factor, where she was known for her voluminous hairstyles and dramatic eye make-up.
Despite a glittering start in the competition, things went downhill for Cher when her alleged behind-the-scenes tantrums caused her to be labelled as Britain’s most ‘hated teen’, with judge Louis Walsh even branding her ‘too big for her boots’.
Cher ended coming in fourth place on the show, and following her stint on X Factor, she released her first single Swagger Jagger, followed by her debut album Sticks and Stones.
After becoming one of the most promising stars in the industry, it was announced in 2013 that Cher had parted ways with Syco Records due to creative differences with boss Simon Cowell.
In the same year, she secretly married Craig after less than a year of dating and they soon headed to the USA to start a new life. They made their way back to the UK a few years later and in May 2018 they welcomed a daughter.
Looking back on her ‘diva’ persona during her time on the show, Cher told Fabulous magazine back in 2012: ‘I was a beast! Everyone hated me.
‘I was young and foolish. Part of me was trying to show I was strong enough to do it, and then I think it all got too much for me.
‘I was angry with the way I was being edited and because of that I turned into this horrible person, with a terrible attitude.’
