Ouch! Former X Factor star throws serious digs at Cheryl

Former X Factor contestant Katie Waissel has revealed her true feelings about her ex-mentor, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini… and boy, it is NOT pretty!

The 29-year-old admitted that she even warned Rita Ora, who is a good friend of hers, that she thinks Cheryl is a “pr**k”.

It is no secret that Ms Waissel and Cheryl didn’t see eye to eye, with Katie having previously opened up about her distaste for the former Girls Aloud singer.

Speaking to Star Magazine she said that, “People think I have this huge thing against Cheryl. And granted, I do. I’m pissed off for various reasons. If you ask me she is fake as s**t.”

And Katie didn’t stop there. “I just think there’s no substance to her,” the singer went on. “She can be very abrupt and rude. I don’t think she’s a very nice human.”

Katie, who finished seventh in the seventh series of the show had some advice to give to upcoming contestants. And that was “to f*****g beg to get someone else as a mentor.”

Wow, we can’t imagine Cheryl is going to be too pleased hearing about this!

Warning new judge Rita Ora against her, Katie admitted that “I told her I hung out with Simon and Louis Walsh, and Cheryl sat with her Benson and Hedges in her dressing room staring at her diamonds. Rita, if you ever lose Cheryl, that’s where she is.”
