Cheryl Cole in bust-up with Louis Walsh after Laura White is voted off X Factor

FUMING Cheryl Cole had a massive backstage bust-up with Louis Walsh after he voted off X Factor contestant Laura White.

The Girls Aloud star told fellow judge Louis after Saturday's show his decision to send Laura home was "clearly personal".

She then let rip at him after the cameras stopped rolling, leaving onlookers staggered.

A source said: "Cheryl was incandescent with rage. She was furious at his decision and was giving him what for."

Laura, 21, from Bolton, was one of the bookies' favourites to win the ITV talent show.

But she lost the sing-off with Ruth Lorenzo, with Louis casting the deciding vote.

Laura also denied that reports she was dating X Factor executive Matthew Firsht contributed to her being in the final two.

She said: "I'd only been seeing him for four months, so that's why I never spoke about it.

"It's private and I'm a private person."
