Cheryl Cole 'Cowell Is Rude And Annoying'

Cheryl Cole has branded Simon Cowell as "rude" and "really, really annoying".

The 'Fight For This Love' singer made the comments about her X Factor co-star during an interview with the BBC, when she revealed their relationship is tense.

"It gets quite heated backstage, and quite competitive." Cheryl explained. "I don't feel like I'm a competitive person. I feel like the best person should win The X Factor, whether they're in my category or not."

"But he [Cowell] is so competitive and so rude sometimes that I find myself getting caught up in it. Honestly, he's really annoying. Really annoying."

The BBC reporter then joked that next time he is rude, Cheryl should just "lamp him", to which she replied: "I should, shouldn't I?"

In other news, Cole is on course to score a chart double this weekend with both her single 'Fight For This Love' and album '3 Words' likely to reach number one.
