Cher Lloyd played mind games with the other X Factor hopefuls, axed contestant Treyc Cohen has claimed. Speaking in Heat, Treyc said the 17-year-old made out she was getting her own way and talking to her mentor Cheryl Cole even if she hadn’t.

“Cher knows what she wants and how to get her own way. Sometimes she’d try to make out she’d got her own way even if she hadn’t – she played mind games,” Treyc said. “She’d make out she’d spoken to Cheryl on a few occasions, when I knew she hadn’t. If there were reports that Cheryl had been shopping for her, Cher wouldn’t deny them even if they weren’t true.

“She’d get the most freebies, and would make out she was the most special. Paul’s Boutique loved her. She got shoes, clothes.” Treyc joked: “It’s a shame she’s not my size…”

Treyc, who left the show two weeks ago, revealed she wasn’t happy with her song choice. She told the magazine: “If we weren’t happy with our song choices, we’d get peed off. I wasn’t happy with my song choices for that last week and I threw a strop.”
