Louis Walsh has declared his friendship with Cheryl Cole is over after she accused the music manager of cashing in on Girls Aloud's success despite having "zero involvement" with the band.
Cheryl aired her frank views on her former X Factor co-judge in the latest issue of Marie Claire magazine, saying: "We never had management. Louis claimed to be our manager but he never did it.
"We didn't talk to him or anything like that. He just took a cheque. (He had) zero involvement. Oh yeah, he took the cheques."
The 28-year-old put her issues aside to star with Walsh on the X Factor for three years, and told the magazine: "I talk to him because now I get that business is business and that's how he runs his. But he never chose a hit. Who chose them? Us."
However, Louis is fuming about the interview, with The Mirror claiming he vented his fury to a friend.
He reportedly told the pal: "As far as I'm concerned, our friendship is over. I've no idea why she's made these comments but, in my eyes, it says a lot about her.
"I was always the first to defend her on The X Factor, and always watched her back. I thought we were friends.
Over to you, Cheryl...
