Nicole Scherzinger has implied that Cheryl Cole was lying when she wrote the story of their first meeting in her autobiography.
Earlier this year, Cheryl's autobiography was released and one of the anecdotes related was the first time that Cheryl met Nicole.
Cheryl said that Nicole had sung the entirety of Cheryl's hit 'Promise This' to her, claiming that it was incredibly awkward. She also said that Nicole had told her how pretty she is.
However, Nicole has spoken out and said that the meeting has been overexaggerated and that isn't what happened.
She told Fabulous magazine, "I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt and hope that she would only have spoken highly of me because I've not spoken poorly of her. The story is I met her once at The X Factor and I wanted to make her feel good.
"I said I'd heard her song on the radio and I think I sang the words 'promise this'. But I really don't know any lyrics after that.
"And then that is made out to be something else and I don't understand why. I don't understand why anybody would do that. It's been blown out of proportion and it's silly."
Cheryl Cole apparently hasn't been entirely truthful in 'Cheryl: My Story'
The extract from Cheryl's book reads, "The first time I met Nicole was when she was performing on The X Factor in London.
"'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."
