Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini might appear to be the perfect husband on the outside, but it turns out he has a bit of a jealous streak.

Cheryl's husband seems to have been watching her every move via Instagram lately, and he couldn't help but post a snarky comment on one particular video. The clip, uploaded by Cheryl's fellow X Factor judge Nick Grimshaw, shows him helping her as she tries out a mini Segway hoverboard.

In the video, Nick keeps a nervous Cheryl steady by grabbing her round the waist and afterwards lifting her off the board.

While the video was definitely uploaded in good fun, restaurateur Jean-Bernard took the opportunity to remind Nick (and his 778,000 followers) that Cheryl was his… and no-one else's. "Jimmy the grym you very funny and strong after all those hours in the gym but remember her ass is mine," he wrote, with two crying face emojis and a pair of watchful eyes.

Not a great move, Jean-Bernard.

The comment has since been deleted, but not before Nick's fans spotted it. "Your comments on here earlier were pathetic. Did you delete them because you realised how stupid and unwanted they were too," commented one user. 

Jean-Bernard tried his best to paint the whole thing as a joke, commenting again later to say, "My ass is taken by God and my wife… Anyway it was fun everybody sleep well. But Jimmy sleep one eye open."

This is not the first time Cheryl's husband has made a public display of jealousy. Back in February, he was snapped looking sullen and refusing to let go of his wife's hand as she posed for a photo with a fan in London's Pancras Station.

Time to grow up, JB…

Rebecca Ferguson has finally opened up about her latest trauma in which a woman that she had considered a friend was sent to prison for stealing from her.

The 28-year-old star broke down in court last month when she explained how Rachel Taylor had conned her out of more than €61,000.

In a new interview with the Mirror, the former X Factor star opened up about her struggles and how she is trying to put it all behind her.

“I finally got justice, but I’m still recovering from it all,” the former flame of Zayn Malik revealed.

“There was so much more to it, and only so much that gets said in court, and I think if people knew everything they would be quite surprised to hear how I got through it all.”

The mum-of-three admitted that she believes it was her faith in people and putting trust in them that allowed Ms Taylor to take such advantage of her.

“I’m one of those people who tries to look for the good in people, but I’ve learnt that, actually, no, some people fundamentally just are not nice.”

A court found the woman who had been posing as Rebecca’s accountant guilty of two counts of fraud and the 54-year-old was sentenced to 16 months in prison.

Rebecca has had her fair share of ups and downs, with the recent court case and a series of unfortunate relationships.

But, while the Glitter and Gold singer is still single at the moment, she says she is the happiest she has been in years.

“I’m doing the new album which I’m really excited about, and I’m just in a really good place. I am the happiest I’ve been in years.”

Former X Factor contestant Katie Waissel has revealed her true feelings about her ex-mentor, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini… and boy, it is NOT pretty!

The 29-year-old admitted that she even warned Rita Ora, who is a good friend of hers, that she thinks Cheryl is a “pr**k”.

It is no secret that Ms Waissel and Cheryl didn’t see eye to eye, with Katie having previously opened up about her distaste for the former Girls Aloud singer.

Speaking to Star Magazine she said that, “People think I have this huge thing against Cheryl. And granted, I do. I’m pissed off for various reasons. If you ask me she is fake as s**t.”

And Katie didn’t stop there. “I just think there’s no substance to her,” the singer went on. “She can be very abrupt and rude. I don’t think she’s a very nice human.”

Katie, who finished seventh in the seventh series of the show had some advice to give to upcoming contestants. And that was “to f*****g beg to get someone else as a mentor.”

Wow, we can’t imagine Cheryl is going to be too pleased hearing about this!

Warning new judge Rita Ora against her, Katie admitted that “I told her I hung out with Simon and Louis Walsh, and Cheryl sat with her Benson and Hedges in her dressing room staring at her diamonds. Rita, if you ever lose Cheryl, that’s where she is.”

X Factor host Caroline Flack did not hold back when she took to Twitter to shut down some body shaming tweets that were flying about the TV star.

Following her appearance at the X Factor Manchester auditions earlier this week, Caroline, 35, sparked some pregnancy rumours.

Her outfit choice was the starting point with her loose fitting animal print top sparking twitter users to debate whether or not she might be expecting.

Last night so took to Instagram to address the wondering public as she posted a photo of her and fellow presenter Olly Murs.

Her caption read:  "Dear whoever ….I'm not PREGNANT . I like loose fitting clothing and I don't dress for you I DRESS FOR ME!!!!! And it's also very personal and very rude…. I'm off to eat 5 burgers!!!!!!"

The star also addressed one magazine in particular, shutting down any speculation regarding the matter of her private life very simply:

Short and sweet.

Caroline isn’t the only X Factor star to be under the spotlight recently.

Just days ago Cheryl Fernandez- Versini took to Instagram to address some nasty comments she had received regarding her figure online.

After some Instagram users left comments on a photo of the X Factor judge saying she had gotten too thin, Cheryl was quick to address the body-shaming and put an end to it.

The 32-year old singer has recently said she’s sick and tired of nameless social media users declaring that she has lost too much weight.

She said: “Have some respect and maybe think there may be reasons why before opening your mouth please.”

She's clearly lost a significant amount of weight in recent months – something Cheryl Fernandez Versini says is down to being busy, as well as the stress of losing her father-in-law.

And earlier today she once again showed she has no intention of swamping her figure in oversized clothing simply to appease her critics.

Arriving at The X Factor auditions in Manchester, the 32-year-old singer wore a tiny black crop-top from Mulger, which is priced at €475.

Her toned abs were on full display, as were her slim arms and waist. She opted to complete her outfit with over-sized black trousers. 

Cheryl had celebrated her wedding anniversary with husband Jean-Bernard yesterday; they married last year following a three-month relationship.

And just last week, the popstar said she was sick of nameless observers declaring that she's lost too much weight. 

Taking to Twitter, she said: "I am so sick and tired of it being ok to call somebody too thin or a ‘bag of bones’.

"I would never dream of calling somebody too fat and that they should maybe cut down on their food intake? What is the difference?

"You have no idea what I have been through. Just losing my father in law v recently and everything that comes with that. Not that I am or should justify myself to anyone."

She continued: "I’m so f***ing sick of people thinking it’s ok to be mean or body shame anyone. 

"And it’s woman on woman. Have some respect and maybe think there may be reasons why before opening your mouth please.

"I am just tired of the ignorance… At some point it’s just enough. Some people are naturally thin. My mother is all of 4’11 and six stone something. And is incredible healthy and happy."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is turning 32 tomorrow and from the looks of things she is going to be spending her birthday in some serious style.

Although, exactly what she will be doing, not even Cheryl herself knows yet.

The X Factor judge has been married for less than a year to Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini but this is not the first time that he has pulled out all the stops.

The French restaurateur surprised his new bride in February with a candle-lit dinner on a balcony, before running her a bath with rose petals.

Can it get more romantic than that? Only time will tell but we’re thinking probably yes…

Today, Cheryl tas taken to Instagram to share with fans the beginning of her latest birthday surprise.

According to Simon Cowell, this year is the “make or break” year for The X Factor.

Joining the notorious music mogul on the panel this time round are Rita Ora, Nick Grimshaw and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

The singing competition has suffered a huge loss of ratings in the last few years. Its last season struggled to compete with other talent shows, primarily Strictly Come Dancing.

However, you can dry those eyes because all hope is not lost just yet.

Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, the 55-year-old admitted that “It does feel like make or break this year, but I feel like every year is make or break to be honest.”

He went even further saying, that “There were certain years when certain people won and it was like, ‘Oh, Christ’.”

Who could you ever be talking about, Simon? While he didn’t elaborate, we certainly have a few names in mind!

Although the father-of-one is certainly worried about the show’s ratings, he is forever inspired by the possibility of finding new talent. “Last year’s show made me realise there’s still a lot of talent to be discovered,” he admitted.

“You never forget those days when you feel a star is being born.”

This year Caroline Flack and Olly Murs will be co-hosting, while Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom are to present The Xtra Factor

We are sure this is not what Leona Lewis was expecting when she released her new comeback track last week. 

The former X Factor winner's new single hasn't captured anyone's attention following the end of her contact with Syco. 

Leona's whole comeback looks like it could possibly be a flop now after her single failed to break the UK top 40. 

Fire Under My Feet was released by the singer last week but it only made it to number 51 in the singles chart – 48 places lower than her 2013 hit One More Sleep.

Last year saw Leona leave Simon Cowell's Syco label as she wanted to make an "honest" album. Well it looks like this gamble really didn't pay off as she will have a lot to do to reach the popularity she once had. 

Her album Glassheart was released three years ago and true fans are eagerly awaiting her upcoming album.

​Doing much better than Leona in the charts were Rixton and Selena Gomez. Rixton hit the 21st spot wth We All Want The Same Thing, while Selena reached number 14 with I Want You To Know.

Speaking last week, Leona insisted it was about getting her music out there rather than "the chart position". Asked if she was focused on chart success with the new track, she said: "I'm not really. It’s about being able to share something with my fans.”

Meanwhile, she recently hinted at her split from Simon's label as she praised new home Island Records.

She said: "Thank you for allowing me to make an honest and genuine album and show the real me."

Former X Factor star, Ella Henderson, has been left devastated following her father’s fraud, theft and money laundering chargers.

Ella’s father, Sean Henderson, was charged with the offences yesterday.

It has been widely reported that the former car salesman made his money as a Dubai property developer.

Sean, 49, was charged while her mum Michelle, 51 was released after questioning and will not face any charges.

It is being alleged that Mr Henderson is part of a larger fraud operation: three others were also charged yesterday and police in Britain say a fifth person is likely to be charged at a later date.

"Three other people have also been charged today with related offences and a fifth will be charged later this week," confirmed a police spokesperson.

A family friend told The Sun: "Ella is close to her family and devastated about the charges."

Two properties belonging to Sean and Michelle, both located in North East Lincolnshire, were raided on the 21st of April 2013 and the pair were arrested later that day. 

Talking about her parent's arrest, Ella told The Mirror last year: "We're a very strong family, it takes a lot for me to break down or make me cry, someone would have to be terminally ill for that to happen."

 

Ella, who shot to fame when she competed in The X Factor in 2012, is currently on tour with Take That.

She has previously referred to the band as her "big brothers".

She explained: ''They invited me on tour, which is surreal. I knew Gary [Barlow] from The X Factor and Mark Owen and I did some writing together."

Ella’s first concert with the band is set to take place on Wednesday, June 24 in the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield.

With so many names in the hat for the brand new X Factor judging panel, everyone from Niall Horan to Carly Rae Jepson has been linked with a spot. However, the latest name to be thrown into the mix has come as quite a surprise to us.

According to reports this weekend, none other than Rita Ora – as in, The Voice UK judge – is set to take up Mel B’s vacant seat on the panel.

Sources have told The Sun that the signing of her good pal Nick Grimshaw made her reconsider previous offers by Simon Cowell, and she is poised to ink a deal very soon.

“Re-signing Cheryl and getting Grimmy have changed everything. Rita really wants to be on the panel now, so it’s a matter of making the logistics work. There’s a lot to work through,” the source said.

While Rita is said to be in ‘advanced negotiations’ with Cowell and co, an X Factor spokesperson remained tight-lipped, merely saying that “no formal decision has been made about the line-up as yet”.

Other names that have been bandied about for this year’s panel are Louis Tomlinson, Ellie Goulding and even former judge Tulisa Contostavlos.

We think Rita would be perfect for the role, particularly after the success of her guest judging appearance three years ago. What are your thoughts?

Vlogger Zoella, otherwise known as Zoe Sugg, is rumoured to be the new host of the Xtra Factor.

The YouTube sensation is apparently being scouted as a presenter in order to attract a younger crowd to the talent show. 

A source told The Sun today: ''Simon wants ideas that are different and is really thinking outside the box when it comes to shaking up the show.''

Last year, the Xtra Factor was hosted by Sarah-Jane Crawford, but she only lasted one season.

It is reported that she has left the show due to a clash in scheduling but it seems she will still be tuning in: "Wishing the new team the best of luck," she said on Twitter earlier this month. "I can't wait to watch you all."

Also rumoured to be in the running for the job is Big Brother star and Co. Kildare-native Brian Dowling. According to sources, Brian has been interviewed already for the position and is eager to make a return to television. 

Meanwhile, Zoella has a following of more than 8m on social media and Simon is hopeful that she would draw a huge audience to the programme, which is now in its 11th year.

Apparently the millionaire music mogul has already met with the young star and ''he is keen to hear how she developed such a huge online following with young people''.
