During Cheryl‘s time in the Brit-Pop group Girls Aloud she spoke openly about her feelings towards her rival Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls.

Forever linked by their ties to the ‘X Factor’, the ladies now find that their long-running cold war is heating up after Scherzinger found a friend in Cheryl’s ex-husband/ enemy Jean Bernard Fernandez-Versini.

Fans took to social media to claim that their friendly coupling was built to spite Cheryl.

Cheryl had this to say about the first time she met Nicole back in 2012.

The first time I met Nicole was when she was performing on The X Factor in London.

She started singing ‘Promise This’ to me, and I swear to God the woman sang the whole song, to my face. It was just so awkward, and every time I stood next to her she started singing it again.”

I thought how that would be like me going up to Britney and singing the whole of ‘Baby, One More Time’ in her face. Can you imagine how weird that would be?

What do you think of the drama?
