Cher Lloyd's uncle: Kids called her 'gypo' and 'pikey' because of her traveller lifestyle

X Factor finalist Cher Lloyd lived in a caravan as a toddler

X Factor finalist Cher Lloyd was teased as a child for being a traveller, her uncle Jessy Smith has revealed.
The rapper, 17, lived in a caravan from the age of 4 months with her parents Diane and Darren.
'The caravan had a toilet, shower and gas cooker,' explains Jessy, 37.
'They set off around Wales, parking at the roadside for a week at a time around Swansea, Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil.

'It was hard for them. They had very little money and travellers were not accepted...
'At times Cher's had to put up with kids calling her "gypo" and "pikey".'
After almost a year of living on the road, Cher and her parents moved in with her maternal gran Liz, 56, in Malvern, Worcs.
But Jessy says his niece has always stayed true to her traveller roots.
'She knows where she's from and accepts it,' he tells the Daily Mirror.
'Cher must be one in a million. You never see a traveller doing well on TV, let alone become a pop star. All you hear about travellers is that they leave litter, go out robbing and start fights.'

Gordon Ramsay's father-in-law: He sacked me

Chris Hutcheson claims he didn't quit his job with Gordon Ramsay Holdings

Gordon Ramsay and Chris Hutcheson set up GRH in 1998

Gordon Ramsay's father-in-law has claimed that he was fired as CEO of his company.
Last month, Gordon Ramsay Holdings announced that the chef had ended his 12-year working partnership with Chris Hutcheson.
But the 62-year-old now alleges it was not a mutual decision.
'I was sacked and I don't understand it,' says Chris. 'We could have sat down and had an amicable divorce and worked things out if we were to part company.
'But he didn't do that. The reason behind all of this is Gordon, and not me, as far as I'm concerned.'
Since the announcement, there have been unsubstantiated rumours that the rift occured because Chris took loans of almost £1.5m from the company.
He strongly denies any wrongdoing and explains that any loans were paid back.
'There was certainly no question of me stealing money,' Chris tells The Mail On Sunday. 'Every penny in that company, coming in or going out, is recorded for all to see.'
Chris - who is now taking legal action against GRH for wrongful dismissal - says he hasn't spoken to his daughter Tana or son-in-law Gordon, 44, since.
'It is a hugely awkward situation with my daughter married to him,' he adds. 'How would it feel for any man to lose a daughter? And that is what has happened.'
Gordon and Tana have released a statement in response to Chris' claims.
'It has been made very clear to Chris why his position with the company had become untenable,' it reads.
'As far as Gordon and Tana are concerned this is a private business and family matter and they won't be responding publicly.'

Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole didn't appear to enjoy Jay Kay's performance

Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue appeared to snub Jamiroquai star Jay Kay on last night's X Factor.
The 2 female judges remained seated after the singer's performance of White Knuckle Ride and didn't even clap.
The panel usually give guest performers a standing ovation, as they did with Bon Jovi and Rihanna last night.
It's thought Cheryl, 27, and Dannii, 39, were upset with Jay Kay after he reportedly launched into a rant about them.
'[They're] f***ing useless,' he was quoted as saying in The Sun.
'What are they going to tell me about f***ing music? When have you ever done anything? You're useless. I mean you look great and I'd like to f***ing shag you but that's all.'
Jay Kay, 40, played down the controversy while talking to Dermot O'Leary after his performance.
'I had reservations about coming on the show,' he said. 'But I've had a great time.

Courteney Cox on David Arquette: What a Kook!

Courteney Cox wants to make something very clear: she and David Arquette are merely separated.
"I don't know what will happen, but this is not like we're getting divorced," she told TV Week in her first interview since news of her and Arquette's split went public. "This is a separation and I think that takes a lot of courage... Whatever is supposed to happen will be the best thing for us."

Acknowledging that she and her husband of 11 years have "grown apart," Cox also addressed Arquette's two phone calls to Howard Stern, in which he bragged about sex with other women.

"[David] is a kook," she said. "It's not shocking and Howard Stern, he loves him and I'm a fan of Howard Stern... David is an entertainer and I'm sure the people who listen to the radio are entertained by his stories."

Has Cox relied on Jennifer Aniston, her close friend who, of course, has broken up a number of times with men? Yes. Speaking on her former co-star, the actress said:

"We just have fun, we laugh, we're inseparable and it's great. It's funny, a lot of really close friends are kind of going through this right now... Jennifer has been amazing for sure."
