The Voice UK coach Will.i.am has hit out at Simon Cowell (again), blaming him for Cheryl Cole failing in the USA.
The Geordie singer joined the American version of The X Factor last year, but was axed after just two weeks during the auditions.
Cheryl’s mentor and manager Will.i.am took the opportunity this week to have another dig at Simon, even though the whole thing happened more than a year ago now.
He said: “There are English guys that go to America and it’s hard for them.
“Let’s take Cheryl Cole for example – she went and did a TV show and it was hard for her. And it wasn’t hard for her because of an American – it was hard for her because of a Brit.”
Will added: “Now that’s kind of weird, isn’t it?”
Cheryl was replaced by Nicole Scherzinger on the US show, who was also axed. She’s now a judge on The X Factor 2012 UK.
Despite Will’s comments, Cheryl and Simon still seem to be pals.
After celebrating her 29th birthday on Thursday, Simon arranged a jet to fly over her house carrying the message: “You’ll be 30 next year, haha, love Simon”.
