X Factor's Cheryl Cole branded 'flakey'

Blasted: Cheryl Cole, above, does not work at friendships, claims Brian Friedman

The 32-year-old dancer was asked to choose between Cheryl and Dannii Minogue and said: "I am going to have to choose Dannii.  The reason I choose Dannii is because, Cheryl, you're a flake. You don't call me back enough, we don't do enough together. Danni is the one... Danni puts the effort into friendship."

Candid: Brian Friedman doesn't hold back

Brian's candid comments are not the first time that the dancer has spoken out. Earlier this month, he shot his mouth off against contestants John and Edward for taking the place of more deserving contestants. He told us: "It's going to
show in the weeks to come if they do a ballad. Then the public will decide if they should stay."

He also claimed that the twins needed medication as they are a nightmare to work with.

We get the feeling that Brian is talking himself out of a job, and might find himself dancing out the X Factor doors at the end of the series.

Brian may not like Cheryl, but she's got a big fan in Jamie Archer. He says he finds it hard to concentrate in front of the female judges — because he finds them too attractive.

He said: "It's hard to listen to them as judges because you're, like, Wow, okay Cheryl, you look amazing by the way."

Jamie also said that the contestants spent a lot of time talking about what the judges will be wearing. He said: "We all talk about what look Cheryl and Dannii are going to wear each week, what look they are going for, what they're going to do with their hair — and who will win the style wars."
