X Factor's Wagner: Did Simon plan Cole exit?

Wagner Fiuza-Carrilho has hinted Simon Cowell planned Cheryl Cole's departure from 'The X Factor' all along.

The eccentric singer - who reached the live finals stage of the ITV1 show last year - thinks the 51-year-old music mogul is a "very clever man" and could have orchestrated the 'Promise This' hitmaker's hiring and subsequent firing from the US version of the talent contest.
