Cole reveals Cowell X Factor bust-up

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

The former Girls Aloud star, 29, revealed how she sent Cowell 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.

In her new book Cheryl: My Story, she also accused Cowell of valuing his business more than their friendship.
