British singer Cher Lloyd has suggested her marriage to hairdresser Craig Monk is over after 13 years in a three-word reply to a fan’s query.
The 32-year-old, who grew to fame after appearing on The X Factor UK in 2010, shared a carousel of images of her life lately, including one of a manicure without her wedding ring on display.

In fact, Lloyd wasn’t seen wearing her ring in any of the photos, prompting one fan to ask of its whereabouts.
“I have many questions, where is your wedding ring? What are we supposed to understand from your photos?” the fan asked.
The singer replied “it’s in the [bin]“, using a bin emoji instead of the word.
Oddly though, a number of fans rushed to congratulate the singer and noted how much happier she looks in the images.

Other friends sent supportive messages, and one even apologised for sending out a “save the date” message for her own wedding, but Lloyd didn’t appear rattled by it in her reply.
The couple had a whirlwind romance, shortly after Lloyd’s reality TV success – finishing fourth in the singing contest – got her a record deal with Simon Cowell’s label, Syco Music.
From there, she catapulted into the top of the UK charts in 2011 with hit Swagger Jagger and her first album Sticks and Stones debuted at No.4 on the UK charts.
Lloyd met Monk while visiting a hair salon he worked in, something she later described as an “embarrassing” meet cute.
“It’s embarrassing how we met when I think about it,” she told Metro UK in a 2014 interview.
“I went to a hair salon to get my hair done just after I got off The X Factor.

“I wanted to go for a cigarette but I couldn’t go out the front because it was swimming with paparazzi.
“He was the only one who could take me out the back. So that’s where I met him.”
The couple got engaged in January 2012 and married in secret in 2013, sharing an image after with fans on social media.
They share two daughters – Delilah-Rae, 8, and Eliza Violet, who will be 3 in September.
Lloyd appears to have deleted all photos featuring Monk from her social media.
