Oh dear, oh dear. It seems that things may not be going so sweetly behind the scenes at The X Factor.

Tensions are allegedly running high between Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Rita Ora, as Cheryl apparently said that Rita has "zero respect" for her.

Because The X Factor is Straight Outta Compton and Cheryl is a gangster now.

A source told Closer magazine: "Cheryl tried to make friends with Rita at the start of the show but she feels that, as a new judge, Rita has shown her zero respect.

"Rita isn't afraid to stand up for herself and argue her opinion against the other judges, but it's been rubbing Cheryl up the wrong way.

"They look like best friends on camera, but behind the scenes things have been difficult."

It's worth bearing in mind, however, that reps for the stars said the claims were "completely fabricated".

And also that pretty much any time alpha females work together there will be rumours of them clashing.

Funny how that doesn't happen so much when alpha men work together, isn't it?
