Cheryl Cole And Simon Cowell 'Kiss And Make Up' - MTV UK

The pair are pals again after Simon sent Chezza a text asking to be friends…

Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell have buried the hatchet and are speaking again, two months after he sacked her from The X Factor USA.

It was a simple text from Simon that is said to have cleared the air between the former best mates. It simply said: "Friends again? X"

To which Cheryl apparently replied: "You've got a nerve! x"

With that, one of the most shocking feuds in showbiz has come to an end, just in time for Simon to try to convince the Promise This singer to be a special guest on the live finals of The X Factor.

A source close to the pair told The Mirror: "Simon's made no secret of the fact he'd love to work with Cheryl again and, as far as he is concerned, the door is always open to her. At the moment, there is a fifth guest judge role on UK X Factor and Simon is desperate for Cheryl to alternate with him in this role.

"She'd be a fantastic surprise addition to the live final stages of the show."

The insider added that the Geordie is seriously considering the offer. "Cheryl was thoroughly hurt and embarrassed by the whole US debacle. But she's done a lot of thinking over the past few weeks, and has moved on."
