Cheryl Cole "still grumpy" with Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell has told Life & Style Weekly that Cheryl Cole is "still grumpy" with him after her US X Factor departure.

Speaking candidly The X Factor creator said: I am sorry the way it worked out as we were incredibly close. Trying to get her to understand what I did, it was never meant to be a negative. It was a decision I thought was the right one. Maybe I didn't give her enough time, and you have to be in the moment. 

"She is still grumpy with me .... I offered her a lot of money to go back (to the UK) as a hero, and it didn't work out."

Cowell revealed earlier this week to TV Line that Cole was given the opportunity to also return to US X Factor but decided not to.
