London, December 12 (ANI): Cheryl Cole has revealed that she respects her X Factor co-judge Simon Cowell even though he keeps getting on her nerves.

The Girls Aloud singer said she was learning from the music mogul despite his rudeness.

“If he does fancy me, he’s really not going the right way about it!” the Mirror quoted the 26-year-old star as saying.

“He called me up the other week after he’d watched the show back and said, ‘I’m just calling you because I’ve just watched your VT (video tape) and I don’t know what you were wearing but you looked terrible and your personality was like a snail’.

“I get it as well, it’s not just contestants, he’s rude to me! As much as it gets tense on the show and he can be really annoying, he’s kind and truthful and I really respect him.

“I feel like I’m learning a lot from Simon, he knows what he’s talking about, he’s been in the industry for years - but he can still be really annoying at times!” she added. (ANI)
