Cher first found fame on the hit singing show in 2010 when she was just 16 as she reached the live finals and smashed her way onto the top of the charts with her debut single in 2011.
She told The Sun that during her career she was asked to date another star to boost her profile further.
She said: “They gave me a few suggestions but it was just a crazy thing to ask.
“Sadly it still happens. That’s still happening in this day and age, that it’s still okay to try to make a young girl do something like that to boost a career.

“I am never going to be that girl, I was never going to be that girl. I write music, I release music and I don’t have the hidden agendas.
“It’s not my thing to do a publicity stunt, it’s messy, plus I was married.”
Cher got married to hairdresser Craig Monk and the pair share daughter Delilah-Rae.
She added: “I’ve been married for nearly seven years and I love him. OK yeah, he is a normal guy, whatever you want to call normal, but you can’t help who you fall for.
“I’m sorry to big music heads that I didn’t marry a very successful celebrity to make money for them.”
