Simon Cowell regrets swapping Cheryl for Nicole Scherzinger

  • May 2, 2012
  • Mikey

Simon Cowell has sort of had a bit of a go at Cheryl 'Cheryl' Cole's 'manager' will.i.am.

Speaking (still) about that sacking from US X Factor and the sub­sequent "very, very good deal" for Cheryl to return to the UK show, Simo blamed "negative" advisors who told her not to take up his offer.

The 'Red Or Black' mogul seemed to regret the whole sorry affair com­pletely after Crusher Of Hope Nicole Scherzinger didn't exactly work out much better.

He told GQ: "if I could reverse time, it wouldn't have happened".

WELL IT'S TOO LATE NOW ISN'T IT SIMON.
