Pop sensation Cher Lloyd is determined not to forget her caravan roots, despite the fact she now boasts a UK number one single with Swagger Jagger.
The 18-year-old recently told the Sun that she has no intention to move into a posh property, having been brought up in a Romany caravan and now calls a council house home.
She explained that she would probably celebrate by having a night in with a take-away meal and a glass of bubbly.
Since making it big, Cher has had a few extravagant moments – she bought her dad Darren a Range Rover, which is a favourite among many caravan enthusiasts due to its pulling power.
“I bought him a Range Rover because we have always had rubbish, embarrassing cars,” she told the newspaper.
“When I needed to get to a gig once I had to push the car up a hill. It was awful.”
The singer and rapper is not the only star to have been brought up in and around caravans – Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rafael van der Vaart last year explained how he learned to play football at the Dutch caravan park on which he was raised.
