Remember that time Simon Cowell said Cheryl Fernandez-Versini looked awful in the orange and purple outfit she wore for the launch of X Factor USA in 2011, and then gave her a right royal sacking a couple of weeks later?
What about the time she wore a green dress on the current series of The X Factor and he called her ‘Kermit’, causing her to look like she was going to commit murder live on television.
Oh yeah, and last weekend she said, “At the age of 55, he hasn’t learnt”, after the music mogul commented on her weight at the start of the American version of the show.
Well, it’s just bantz, guys! Simon insists he and Cheryl are best mates.
He tweeted: “I keep reading me and @CherylOfficial have fallen out. We haven’t. She has proven to be a great friend.”
Does she know this, Simon? She seems pretty unhappy about some of the comments you’ve made in the past.
The music boss insists he feels so comfortable with his friends, he sees nothing wrong in ripping the pee right out of them because he thinks they won’t take it the wrong way.
Speaking on The Xtra Factor earlier this month, he said: “With me, if I like somebody then I can poke fun at them and that’s how I am with all my friends. So if I didn’t like Cheryl then I wouldn’t have fun with her.”
Aww, isn’t it just heartwarming…

Shirt crimes
Where it all begin. Back in 2002 Cheryl was just another badly dressed wannabe singing for her stardom on Popstars: The Rivals. And boy did she sing.
How low can you go (answer: very)
In full party mode, Chezza opted for a scarf top cinched in with a belt and bootcut trews for a night on the town back in 2003. Yep, she's got belt chains. And what?
The cold shoulder
It's hard to believe but this is actually an awards ceremony outfit. Yep, in 2005 an off-the-shoulder top and tiered skirt were all a pop star needed to wow on the pavement. As it's Cheryl, her dimples did save her some.
Floral fantastic
For the Alien Autopsy premiere Cheryl went all MUM wearing a flowery satin dress and matching shawl
DIY facelift
Who needs night cream when you can scrape your hair into a super tight high pony?
Vesty
Following the breakdown of her marriage, Cheryl lost weight and looked teeny tiny. Here in 2008 she showed how small her frame had become when she stepped out in grey trews and a white vest, both of which appeared to drown the petite star
Print-cess
We LOVED this fun and flirty skater dress! The bright yet chic colours looked fab against Chezza's tan while the flippy style showed off her toned legs
On yer head!
It might have been December but Cheryl took the festive spirit a tad too far with her red leather jacket and fluffy headband
Meow! Part 1
Well, helloooo mama! Chezza brought the WOW to the X Factor stage in a floor length black dress and with a cute bow hair 'do
Meow! Part 2
One of our all time favourite Cheryl looks. The beautiful star looked gorge in her patterned frock and cat's ears on the X Factor
OMG it's CC in VB
For the NTAs Cheryl stunned us all when she stepped out onto the red carpet wearoing a pale pink Victoria Beckham dress. We bet back in Baden-Baden neither of them thought THAT would ever happen
Uh-oh
We couldn't put together a Cheryl style round-up without skipping over the p'orange pond. Take a look. Aaaand now we move on...
The big yay or nay
Cheryl's Stephanie Rolland couture gown divided the heat office. Was her Cannes frock a bit too fashion or had Chezza hit the nail on the head?
Cannes or can't?
Another Cannes look, this time one flashing a lot more flesh. Perhaps a little too much for the film festival crowd but there's no denying she looks pretty darn great
Sparkly star

Hot suff
Date night with new fella Tre called for a sexy leather pencil skirt and co-ordinating top with comfy courts. An excellent romantic look
Sling-ky mama
Cripes, this lady can even make a wrist injury look hot! Can we pretend we've got a poorly wrist to emulate Chezza's style? No?
P-p-p-pick up a peplum!
Or two! For Guiseppe Zanotti's Fashion Night Out party Cheryl went OTT on the peplums and totally pulled them off
Onesie
Cheryl isn't all about the natty frocks and OMG glamour gowns. The lady can also rock a onesie with panache. Especially when said onesie is a YSL number.
Comeback kid
At the big announcement of her return to The X Factor Cheryl greeted paps wearing a chic Lela Rose LBD with bright heels and cool shades.
Yeehaw!
Ooh how hot did Chezza look in her Kate Moss for Topshop fringed leather number at Kiss 100 radio? Smoking hot that's how.
Mono magic
Looking like a black and white babe in a cropped Jil Sander top with a giant statement necklace at the London leg of The X Factor auditions this year.. Those Temperley London trews could've done with being shortened a tad, though...
Tomato talent
The petite star wowed in this vibrant Stella McCartney two-piece, showing off her poker-straight locks.
