Simon Cowell isn't exactly Mr. Nice Guy but he really made poor Amanda Holden squirm this morning when he pulled off a pretty epic prank.

The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent boss was appearing on Nick Grimshaw's Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 1 when he called up Amanda as part of Nick's Call or Delete segment to tell her some pretty awful news.

After some small talk, Simon asked Amanda if she was alone, telling her to leave the room as he had something to discuss with her. Then he broke the news that he'd be replacing her with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini on Britain's Got Talent for two days every week.

"Our idea is you do Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, obviously the final and then Tuesday and Thursday we replace you with Cheryl," he told her.

We totally admire Amanda for not shouting a series of expletives at Simon, especially when he casually told her Cheryl would work well because "she's younger and because she's a singer…it'll bring in a different audience."

Things reached critical cringe level when Simon defended his decision by saying "All I care about is the show, babe." Ouch!

To finish things off, Simon told Amanda he'd be replacing David Walliams for the BGT final with Jeremy Clarkson, before breaking the news that he was only having a laugh at her expense.

Amanda seemed a good sport on Twitter this morning, though she did take the opportunity to finally lash out at Simon:

You said it, girl!

There have been many rumours about Cheryl’s future as a judge on The X Factor following her highly anticipated return last season.

Now, it would seem Simon has made a decision and it planning to keep Cheryl on the reality TV show ‘at all costs’.

According to The Sun, Mel B may not be as lucky as Cheryl this year: “They haven’t signed a deal yet but Simon, Cheryl and ITV are all on the same page. But that’s really bad news for Mel. She had a good first year but bosses want a new line-up.”

It had been said week following Dermot O’Leary’s shock departure that The X Factor producers were doing their all to shake things up for next year.

Does that mean that Olly Murs will step in for the much-loved presenter? Not without his BFF Caroline Flack: “The only way I would even think or talk about it would be if Caroline was doing it with me because me and Caroline were great together.”

It sounds as if things are going to be very different indeed this season!

We're used to seeing Cheryl dolled up to the nines for her X Factor appearances, but this new look has us wondering if she might be better off toning things down.

The singer's make-up artist Karin Darnell shared some images from Cheryl's shoot with the Sunday Telegraph's Stella magazine, which hit news stands yesterday.

Cheryl looks like a totally different woman with simple make-up, a nude lip and slightly messy dark brown hair:

How gorgeous?! Karin captioned the image, "So simple… so striking… @cherylofficial looking so young… so beautiful!!!!"

Another image from the shoot shows Cheryl with a similarly natural look, and we have to say it totally suits her.

The former Girls Aloud star reveals she rarely reads comments online or in the media about herself anymore, admitting she has "absolutely no idea” of how she is portrayed these days.

“I know that they don’t know us… They only know what they’re fed and what they’re given, and half the time, that’s not me," she said.

Speaking about her new single Only Human, Cheryl says it's about "going back to basics, and saying, 'Look, we’re only human, we’re only dust. That’s all we are made from’.”

So could this simple, natural look be a permanent change for Cheryl? We hope so!

X Factor producers have revealed there is a big shake-up on the way for the next series of the show, in a bid to boost ratings.

The official judging panel line-up will not be announced until May but at the moment only Simon Cowell has been confirmed as safe.

"There will be some exciting changes. The name of the show will stay the same but we are looking at format and the judges. There will be some surprises this year. But I can’t go into detail," said X Factor executive producer Richard Holloway in an interview with The Mirror.

Speaking about the new plans, Richard said it was definitely time for a change. "We have been making the show for 10 years and to make it popular you have to refresh the show." However he admitted Simon would not be turned away from the panel, adding, "It is safe to say Simon is staying."

Given that Simon's production company Syco was the brains behind the show, we reckon he wouldn't be too happy to be kicked out!

Richard says that X Factor bosses would "love to beat" Strictly Come Dancing once again when it comes to viewer numbers. "There is an ongoing battle with Strictly," he revealed. "On overall volume they beat us last year. It has been a few years since we beat them on overall volume. It is quite interesting the split of the audience. It is very defined."

So with Simon confirmed, what about Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Mel B and Louis Walsh?

Mel B's last few weeks as a judge on the 2014 series of the show were full of drama as she had to miss the live semi-final for a mystery trip to hospital, amid reports she had left her husband Stephen Belafonte.

"It could be the case that Mel, Cheryl and Louis all don’t return but it’s still early days in discussions to say for certain and too soon to speculate," said Richard.

Hmmm… guess we'll have to wait until May for the big reveal.

Poor David Walliams isn't having a great week, made worse by the fact that he's had to relive some seriously cringey memories!

The actor appeared on The Graham Norton Show this week and told the host about the time he was unashamedly rejected by his fellow guest on the couch, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

David revealed he had been quite taken with Cheryl and the rest of the Girls Aloud ladies when they first started out, but he was soon put in his place.

"When Girls Aloud came along I met Louis Walsh and asked him if any of the girls were single and he said he would ask," David told Graham on the show, which will be aired this Friday night. 

"'I thought he would do that discreetly, but he called a meeting of all of them and asked, 'Do any of you want to go out with David Walliams?' It was a No. And that was the end of that."

Ouch!

The show was filmed before news of David's split from wife Lara Stone broke, making the talk of rejection all the more poignant.

The actor/comedians's wife Lara Stone reportedly walked out of the couple's family home in London on Tuesday, taking their toddler son Albert and dog with her.

Although friends said David was "devastated" by Lara's choice to have a trial separation, the star seems to be coping okay and was live-tweeting his World Book Day tour around English primary schools all day today in good spirits:

We hope he's doing okay under that big smile!

Is there any style that Cheryl Fernandez-Versini cannot pull off? We’re thinking the answer to that is a resounding ‘no’ after seeing her new ‘70s ‘do!

The X-Factor judge had teased her fans on Instagram shortly before unveiling her new look by posting a photo of hairdressers' utensils and writing: "Long over due…"

The singer later shared a photo of her new hairstyle, which is much shorter than we are used to seeing on her and captioned: “I [love] the 70’s #newdo colour is @lorealparisuk Casting Creme Gloss Berry 565. @percyhair thanks for the chop.”

Although Cheryl often experiments with lots of natural colours in her hair, we reckon this is a favourite and will be flying off the shelves now that she’s given her secret away! 

Has Cheryl's new '70's do almost tempted you to go for the chop…?

It looks like this popstar's husband wanted to make their first Valentine's Day as a married couple as special as possible and if Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's latest Instagram shots are anything to go by, then Jean-Bernard certainly delivered!

The Crazy Stupid Love singer took to social media to show fans and followers just how loved she was this Valentine's Day and we're not jealous at all…ahem.

Uploading one photo of a romantic, rose strewn, candlelit table and captioning the shot: "Happy Valentine. Sending you lots of love & happiness. #Feelingvluckyandspoiled Part 1", Cheryl definitely knew how to turn us all green with envy.

And then there was Part 2…

Jean-Bernard pulled out all the stops and treated his beautiful wife to a candlelit bath. Spelling out 'Happy Valentine' in rose petals, Cheryl's French beau left no doubt that he's head-over-heels for our favourite Geordie girl.

Long may it last!

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has proved time and time again that she doesn’t take too kindly to haters. Now, she’s addressing them as a whole with a humorous photo she shared on her Instagram account.

The photo, featuring a sad-looking bat is captioned: “Haters be commenting on your posts and their profile pic be like.”

Ooh, Cheryl! Very cheeky indeed.

We’re sure the ‘haters’ will be just delighted with that! Although they may be just as delighted that Cheryl is looking at their profile photos at all – what has she gotten herself into?!

The funny photo comes only hours after the singer shared another Instagram snap hinting that she was missing her French husband, Jean Bernard, captioned: “In French, you don’t say ‘I miss you’ you say ‘tu me manques’ which means ‘you are missing from me’. I love that.”

Aww, how sweet! We're very glad to have Cheryl back on social media after taking a break since The X Factor wrapped in December.

Poor Cheryl Fernandez-Versini was no doubt trying to enjoy some down time on holidays recently after a hectic few months working on The X Factor, but it seems things didn't quite go to plan.

The singer and her husband Jean-Bernard jetted off to the Caribbean earlier this month for an idyllic couple's holiday which included a spot of under-sea snorkelling.

Jean-Bernard revealed that his wife was left totally startled when she spotted an unwelcome visitor swimming above them… a blacktip reef shark!

Although reef sharks are generally harmless, there have been incidents of them biting divers in the past, and so the couple were urged to swim away from the area and leave the water by lifeguards.

While Cheryl was terrified by the ordeal, Jean-Bernard saw the funny side, even sharing this photo of the snorkelling session on Instagram with the caption, "Ever heard a Geordie scream, 'It's a f***ing shark?'"

Yup, sounds pretty similar to what we'd be shouting too.

Despite Jean-Bernard making light of the situation, a source revealed that the pair were left pretty shaken up after leaving the water. "It was a very scary experience for them both. There are warnings up about sharks all year round in that part of the world, but nobody expects to actually see one."

We're glad to hear the couple made it home safe and sound!

Poor Cheryl, she’s had a tough time of it in recent years. From her divorce from cheating ex Ashley Cole to her terrifying health scare with malaria, as well as that disastrous stint on the US X Factor, it’s been a difficult time.

Indeed, in a rather heartbreaking admission, the stunning singer has revealed that things could have turned out very differently for her if she hadn’t sought positive channels to help get over her troubles.

In an interview with The Sun, the 31-year-old spoke candidly about how she could have very easily “gone off the rails” if she had turned to drink and drugs like so many others in the industry.

“I’ve been very lucky in my life but it could have been very different. I could easily have been one of those people who go off the rails. Even in my showbiz career,” she said.

She added: “I mean, look at the amount of artists who have been affected by drink and drugs. My life could have gone that way too…I came from a worse area than so many people who need help.”

Her frank words come a day after she announced the launch of her first centre for disadvantaged young people in her native Newcastle.

Good old Cheryl, you're right up our street!

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has been surrounded by pregnancy rumours following her absence from the National Television Awards on Wednesday night.

While she did tweet a congratulations to The X Factor on their win, her absence was noted and many began to speculate that she may be pregnant with her first child. She has been unusually quiet on social media and hasn’t been doing many public events since The X Factor season ended before Christmas.

Many fans believed she was replying to the pregnancy rumours when she tweeted: “People should never jump to conclusions about others .. You never know what they may be dealing with #thatsall.”

Now it seems she may be planning something big as she shared an Instagram snap and captioned: “Exciting day ahead.”

Could a baby announcement be on the horizon?

Update 14:36pm: Alas, the Geordie star has just made her announcement on Twitter…and it wasn't baby news! Cheryl cheekily tweeted: "I'm happy to announce my exciting news. I will be delivering my first…centre in Newcastle for #CherylsTrust." 

Thanks for the mini heart-attack, Cheryl! This is also a lovely announcement though!

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini was visibly absent from the National Television Awards last night, at which The X Factor won a Best Talent Show award.

Although the star gave no reason for not attending the awards, she took to Twitter to slam those who had been making assumptions about her absence.

"People should never jump to conclusions about others .. You never know what they may be dealing with #thatsall," she wrote, in what was her first time on Twitter in three weeks.

Shortly after, the X Factor judge tweeted again to congratulate her colleagues on their win, posting a throwback picture of herself, Mel B and Louis Walsh with the caption, "Congratulations to #Xf for winning the NTA last night!!! Woohoo #xf2014"

Yesterday's cryptic tweet isn't the first time Cheryl has lashed out on social media – when an Instagram fan accused her of miming on her X Factor performance late last year, she responded by saying, "Don’t mug yourself on my page. It’s not cute. Go teach yourself some dance instead.” Ouch!

The star hasn't been seen in public since last month, and although we reckon she is just taking some down time following a busy few months on The X Factor, we hope she is okay all the same.
