X Factor star Katie Waissel has reignited her feud with Cheryl, which started in 2012 when autobiography Cheryl: My Story revealed she had only taken Katie through to the live shows to to make ‘good tv’.

And it seems 29-year-old Katie isn’t letting it go just yet.

In an unsparing interview with Bella magazine, the singer- who was a contestant in the 2010 X Factor, said:

"Cheryl was charming when she had to be. But behind closed doors she was so different.”

"I thought her behaviour was shady and unnecessary – she publicly slammed me in her book without saying anything to my face.

"But when she was my mentor, she kept trying to be my best friend and steal my cigarettes. I personally thought she was nasty, a horrible human and completely not genuine."

And speaking about Cheryl return to the judging panel, she added:

"Last year she tried to be really controversial. Cheryl’s very concerned about the public’s opinion. "She wasn’t hugely popular last year and that’s why she’s gone down the nice road on this series. I feel after this she should really take a break."

Ooher.
