Could have been worse, could have called her a boring minger.

However, despite his seemingly flattering comments former X Factor judge Chezza is believed to be fuming.

A source told Star magazine: "Cheryl hasn't taken Simon's comments as a compliment."

"She feels humiliated by it, as though Simon only saw her as eye candy, while she confided in him as mentor."

"She wants to earn success using her talent, not her looks."

To fill those who might not be up to speed in, last week Simon basically said in an interview that Cheryl only landed her X Factor job because he fancied her.

He told the Radio Times: "I mean literally, when she walked on set on the first day in the UK I thought that she was one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen in my life."

He added: "I think my entire production staff - including a lot of gay people were madly in love with Cheryl."
