“I think the biggest thing is not being able to see family. I miss my mum and dad a lot. Before the lockdown I spent a lot of time with them,” Cher told House of Solo.
The X-Factor star found the ordeal “really scary” and hated not being able to see her dad while he was in hospital.
Cher revealed: “My dad hasn’t been well for a long time and the idea of not being able to be close is a really scary thought.

Every single time I get the phone call, I ask myself: ‘is this going to be because of his pre-existing condition or is this going to be the call that I’m dreading?’. “

Cher revealed waiting for her dad to get better has “been the hardest thing” about being in lockdown.

She added: “I haven’t actually told anyone about that. I think that like a lot of us Brits, I tend to keep stuff bottled up.

“Especially me, because I’m always thinking: ‘oh I don’t want people to think I’m not strong!’.

“So, that’s been super scary and also for my mum, when she calls, I can hear a change in her voice. So, if we can keep him out of hospital until this is all done with that would be amazing! Fingers crossed!”

The mum-of-one is very close to her parents and even has ‘Daddy’ tattooed on her hand.

She admitted Facetiming them every day with 23-month-old daughter Delilah.

The star who shot to fame on X-Factor when she was just 16, is in lockdown with her husband Craig Monk and Delilah.

She credited having a small child with helping her get through the tough moments in lockdown.

Cher said: “I feel like the weeks have gone quite quickly and I think that has a lot to do with having a small child.

“My day is non-stop, and she is a very energetic child! So, I don’t get a lot of time to myself, I try to be creative in any way possible, but that’s difficult when you’ve got a kid saying: ‘mummy I’ve done a poo!’.”

As a result of being a busy mum in lockdown it took her a lot longer to finish Lost, but she said being creative helped her a lot.

Cher said: “This new song has been great though in terms of having something to direct my efforts towards, because otherwise I feel like I would have dipped, you can feel it sometimes, can’t you?
