The former X Factor contestant has reignited her feud with her former mentor - and isn't holding back



She was given her chance by Cheryl Fernandez-Versini on the X Factor, but Katie Waissel has now called her former mentor a "nasty, horrible human".

The outspoken former contestant, who was one of Chezza's girls back in 2010, has reignited her feud with the judge once again.

In a rant to Bella magazine Katie, who seemingly fell out with Cheryl after her comments in her book Cheryl: My Story , said: "I thought her behaviour was shady and unnecessary - she publicly slammed me in her book without saying anything to my face.

"But when she was my mentor, she kept trying to be my best friend and steal my cigarettes. I personally thought she was nasty, a horrible human and completely not genuine."

Controversial Katie also had some thoughts on Cheryl's judging talents on this year's series, suggesting she might want to "take a break".

She fumed: "Last year she tried to be really controversial. Cheryl's very concerned about the public's opinion. She wasn't hugely popular last year and that's why she's gone down the nice road on this series. I feel after this she should really take a break."

It isn't the first time the talent show reject, who is now living in LA, has taken a swipe at the I Don't Care singer.

In October last year she said some of Cheryl’s comments about hopefuls has been “really unnecessary” .

She told new! magazine: "She just has to remember that these people are from all walks of life and this is new to them.

"And for Cheryl - she's the only one who's been disgusting, to be honest - to make such comments, you're like, 'Wait, who are you?' It's annoying - it's not even TV, it's just nasty."
