Sinitta is NOT happy with Cheryl over The X Factor
Oh dear!
Last updated 7th Sep 2017
Each year on The X Factor, 80's pop star Sinitta is hotly tipped to help out her friend Simon Cowell during the Judges' Houses stage, but it looks like Simon may opt for his former co-star Cheryl to join him and Sinitta is seriously not happy about it!
In a shock move, it was reported earlier in the week that music mogul Simon is keen to sign up Cheryl to join him at his house in the south of France, where she will help him choose his final three acts to take to the live shows on The X Factor.
Hearing the news, it seems Sinitta is seething that she may be 'replaced' as Simon's celebrity helper and she's vented her feelings to a national newspaper.
Speaking at the Retribution premiere, she offered Cheryl a word of warning and said, "You can't look like that, have hair like that, have Liam, have the perfect baby, the perfect body, the perfect face, be a pop star, be drop-dead gorgeous and take Judges' Houses."
She then added, "She needs to stay in her lane a little bit. I love you Chez but don't even go there - not that I'm bothered."
Although we'd love to see Cheryl return to the show, we have to admit, seeing what ridiculous outfit Sinitta is going to wear always makes us laugh.
Who can forget those leaves?!
New mum Cheryl was a hugely popular judge on the show. The singer enjoyed a successful stint after joining the judging panel back in 2008, Cheryl won the show with Alexandra Burke in the same year and again a year later with Joe McElderry.
Cheryl later left in 2010 and returned for one more year in 2014 to focus on her music career.
The latest rumours about her returning to help Simon at Judges' Houses comes just a few weeks after it was reported the 34-year-old wouldn't be returning to the show. It was thought that documents filed at Companies House showed CherCo Productions Ltd had been liquidated, the company that reportedly dealt with Cheryl's salary during her time on The X Factor.
But it seems Simon is very keen to get her back!
