Cheryl’s text to Simon Cowell: “I hate you”

Cheryl Cole has opened up about her axe from The X Factor USA for the first time. The Call My Name hitmaker revealed that she was told she had been unceremoniously booted from the judging line-up during an impromptu meeting with Simon Cowell in a break from filming, prompting her to send him an expletive-littered text message. Cole made the revelation in her upcoming autobiography Cheryl: My Story. Further recalling the incident, Cole describes how the music mogul broke the news to her before telling her that she could still have a place on the UK version of the talent show. She said: "He didn't even have the guts to phone or send a message warning me what was coming." "I was furious with Simon for letting it happen like this. I believed we had a good friendship and I couldn't understand why he just hadn't been straight with me," she added. The Girls Aloud star then explained how she went on to write a strongly worded text message to Cowell, in which she said: " F*** you, f*** Britain's Got Talent, f*** the orange hair and purple outfit. F*** big hair. F*** the UK X Factor. F*** you all. I hate you. I understand you're a businessman and what I've learned from this is that business means more to you than our friendship." Cowell - who then drafted in Nicole Scherzinger as Cole's replacement - has since described his decision to fire Cheryl as "the worst mistake [he] ever made". However, in the book Cole admits that she and Cowell reconciled six months later. Cole is currently performing across the UK as part of her A Million Lights tour. Her autobiography, Cheryl: My Story, will be released on Thursday 11October 2012. GIRLS ALOUD TO RELEASE SINGLE NEXT MONTH?CHERYL COLE'S STYLE EVOLUTION SOURCE: CHERYL: MY STORY
