Nicole Scherzinger denies Cheryl Coles book claims

Published on December 14th, 2012 | by Gabi Finn

In the Girls Aloud stars book Cheryl:My Story, the singer claims that her first meeting with Scherzinger was very embarrassing and awkward.

I swear to God the woman [Nicole] sang the whole song, to my face. It was just so awkward. She added that it was as bad as someone going up toBritney Spearsand singing Baby One More Time, saying, Can you image how weird that would be?

Nicole, 34, has hit back insisting the comments are untrue and that she has never read Cheryl Coles book.

Id like to give her the benefit of the doubt and hope that she would only have spoken highly of me because Ive not spoken poorly of her. She told Fabulous magazine.

Explaining her first meeting with the Brit, The story is I met her once atThe X Factorand I wanted to make her feel good. I said Id heard her song on the radio and I think I sang the words promise this. But I really dont know any lyrics after that. And then that is made out to be something else and I dont understand why. I dont understand why anybody would do that. Its been blown out of proportion and its silly.

Cheryl Cole is said to have been jealous of the former Pussycat Dolls singer after being replaced by her on the US version o! f the X Factor.

Her comments may have been in jest, but lets hope the ladies make up before it descends into a full blown feud.
