Cowell told Cole to 'raise her game'

Simon Cowell warned Cheryl Cole to “raise her game” days before she was sacked from ‘The X Factor’.

The British singer was sensationally dismissed from the judging panel of the TV talent contest after just four auditions, but the music mogul – who had previously worked with Cheryl on the British version of the show – had advised her to be more vocal towards the contestants.
