Cher Lloyd: 'Popstars don't deserve to be treated like s***'

Cher Lloyd has argued that singers don't deserve to be abused just because of their celebrity status.

The 'Want U Back' singer, who has campaigned for the government to do more to prevent cyber bullying, said that there was no reason why musicians should be punished for living their dreams.

"We're known as public property, just because we're singers and this is what we've dreamed of doing forever," Now quotes her as saying. "But it doesn't mean you can knock us to the ground and treat us like s**t.

"We're no different to you or other people, except we're doing what we love. And believe me, it's hard work."

Lloyd has spoken out against cyber bullies numerous times in the past and recently took part in a Panorama special on the issue.

The 18-year-old even claimed that it is "a miracle" she is still alive after the abuse she suffered.
