X Factor finalist Cher Lloyd has said she won't win this year's competition.

The 17-year-old added: "It's fine when people say all that, you know. I do expect to be going. It's fine, I've made it this far and I'm very lucky, because I could have went a fair few weeks ago."

After being controversially kept in the competition last week, Cher was surprised to hear that there is now a public hate campaign against her.

It was also revealed that she will perform a duet with will.i.am in the X Factor final.

Speaking about the Black Eyed Peas singer, Lloyd said: "I got mister will.i.am with me so I'm just going to rock it out, you know what I mean?"
