The singer beat the media mogul to the Virgin Media TV Award for Best TV Judge.

It looks like its back to business as usual with Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell, as the Geordie taunted the X Factor mastermind about her recent Best TV Judge award.

The former Girls Aloud member won the award at the Virgin Media TV Awards, beating Cowell by just half a percent in the vote, which was just deserts after her sacking from the US X Factor by the media mogul.

Although Cowell did try his best to keep Cole on the show, in the end he gave into pressure from those higher up.

After receiving the award, Cole posted on Twitter, Oh my! And all in a couple days work. LOVE this @simoncowell

The poll saw Gary Barlow in fourth place, Tulisa Contostavlos in fifth, and Kelly Rowland lagging in tenth. The top three X Factor dominance was prevented by Strictly Come Dancings Bruno Tonioli taking third place.
