Cheryl Cole has spilled the beans on what happened when she first met ex-Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, revealing the 'crazy' starlet sang a whole rendition of Promise This in her face.
CHERYL COLE & TRE HOLLOWAY'S LONDON DATE NIGHT
In quotes leaked from Cheryl Cole's autobiography, Cheryl - My Story, which hits stores tomorrow, the singer also branded the X Factor 2012 judge 'odd', adding their first encounter was 'awkward' and 'embarrassing'.
'The first time I met Nicole was when she was performing on The X Factor in London,' she said.
"'Oh my God, Cheryl! You're just as pretty in real life! I heard your song on the radio!" she had gushed. It was really embarrassing.
'Then she started singing 'Promise This' to me, and I swear to God the woman sang the whole song, to my face. It was just so awkward, and every time I stood next to her she started singing it again.
