X Factor's Katie Waissel disappointed in Cheryl Cole: 'I thought you were better than this'

Former X Factor finalist Katie Waissel has publicly expressed her disappointment with her old mentor Cheryl Cole after she wrote about her in a distasteful way in her new autobiography.

The 'Promise This' songstress and Girls Aloud superstar recalled one of Waissel's live performances from the well-loved TV talent show in her new book, 'Cheryl - My Story', and wrote: "Simon had spent the past two years drumming into me that we needed acts who would be 'good TV'. When I saw Katie perform... I had to admit that she was... quirky, intriguing and busting to succeed."

Cole continued: "In short, she had the character and drive it took to withstand the pressure of the show, and so I put her through, even though she messed up when she sang in front of Will (will.i.am)."

Upon reading the comments, Waissel took to her official Twitter page and sent Cole a message to let her know how she feels about the remarks: "@cherylcole thought you were better than this. Shame I trusted you. you live and you learn."
