Cheryl blows raspberry at Simon's 'narcistic' comment
On the night, the brunette was looking fierce in an elegantly decorated mini dress, which showed off her legs with a racy thigh-high split.
But it only took a little probing from frenemy Simon to crack Cheryl's cool exterior.
The popstar, who is charged with the Groups category, was the first judge to have an act of the stage as 4th Impact opened the show.
They were paying homage to their mentor as they sang Sound Of The Underground - the song that propelled Cheryl's band Girls Aloud to fame in 2002, although they made the song their own by using a mash-up with Clap Clap.
Yet when it came to the point of the evening for judge's comments, a slightly stunted Simon was unsure of the girls' name and was forced to ask Cheryl what they were called - Mylene, Irene, Almira and Celina.
Up to their usual bickering antics, Simon told her: '[It was] a tiny bit narcissistic giving the girls your own song.'
Cheryl slammed Simon for being predictable with his snide dig before insisting the girls chose their own song - after which, she blew a raspberry in his face - while an exasperated and shocked Simon said: 'That's really mature.'
