Cheryl Cole sensationally let rip at Wagner in X Factor last night over comments he made about her coming from a council estate.

The 27-year-old star, who grew up in one of Newcastle’s toughest neighbourhoods, angrily laid into the Brazilian contestant after his performance.

She told him: ‘Normally I don’t have anything constructive to say to you, but I’ve heard this week you have been making some comments about me to the Press about being from a council estate.’

She then blasted him, saying: ‘Yes I am and I am very proud of my roots and I am very lucky.’

A shocked Wagner retorted: ‘Don’t believe what you read in the Press.’

Speaking after the judges had finished their comments, Wagner then tried to explain himself further.

Elaborating on his comments reported in yesterday’s Daily Mirror, where he is said to have branded Cheryl ‘just a girl from a council estate who ‘got lucky’, he told Cheryl: ‘I didn’t know the guy was a journalist.’

Cheryl then became tearful as he told her: ‘I didn’t know the guy was a journalist.

‘He asked me what I think of Cheryl and I said Cheryl is a role model for the young people of this nation because I believe she has lived on a council estate and so many people who live in a council estate don’t believe they can achieve a better standard of living.

‘You are incredibly talented and beautiful and you have the manners of a princess.

‘You are now the most favoured woman in the whole country.’

During an interview he told the Daily Mirror: ‘Cheryl has never spoken to me properly, but that’s OK.
‘She’s just a girl from a council estate who got lucky when someone gave her a job in showbusiness.’

The 54-year-old former PE teacher performed a mash up of Get Back, Hippy Hippy Shake and Hey Jude on what was Beatles night.
