<p><br /> It seems 2009's X Factor winner, Joe McElderry, is backing Cher LLoyd to win this year's series:<br /> </p><p><br /> "I really like Cher. She looks like a star, she acts like one and I think she's got something different from everyone else which is what The X Factor is."<br /> </p><p><br /> Joe, like Cher, was in Cheryl Cole's group in 2009 when he beat Olly Murs in the final and the 19-year-old is obviously still fond of his mentor:<br /> </p><p><br /> "I just think she's a great woman. She needs to keep doing what she's doing. She's fantastic."<br /> </p><p><br /> Joe recently went back on the reality show to perform his new single, Ambitions, and said it was "quite surreal" when this year's contestants were asking him for advice:<br /> </p><p><br /> "I only won the show a year ago!" Joe said.<br /> </p>
