Diana Vickers has allegedly blamed Cheryl Cole for her X Factor elimination.

According to The Mirror, the 17-year-old argued with Cole over her song choices - Avril Lavinge's 'Girlfriend' and Dido's 'White Flag' - and told her backstage that she should have picked them herself.

A source said: "First came the tears and then came the tantrums. Diana was acting like a spoilt kid. She and Cheryl had words backstage and Cheryl felt she needed to spend time with Diana."

Vickers went round to Cole's home for Sunday dinner in an effort to "patch things up", but was apparently still upset about her final weeks on the ITV talent show.

The source added: "She felt she should have been allowed to quit last week rather than be booted off. She knew that she'd already reached her peak. She felt she had lost the judges' support."
