Cowell in firing line as Cole spills beans on 'X Factor' exit

Cheryl Cole has lifted the lid about her public bust-up with 'X Factor' supremo Simon Cowell after he axed the singer as a judge on the US version on the show.

The former Girls Aloud star, 29, revealed how she sent the music mogul an expletive-filled text message in which she told him: “I hate you,” and condemned him for not warning her about her sacking face-to-face.
