Former ITV1 X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has said she does not "even think" about the show's supremo Simon Cowell any more.

The singer, who shot to fame with Girls Aloud, said it was "kind of irritating" that she keeps being asked about him.

Speaking to Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2, she said:

She said she is not likely to work with him in the future, adding:

Cole had a successful stint on the UK version of the X Factor but was dropped from the US version in 2011 only weeks after being publicly given the job.

She said her musical career was her "priority" and her new album is the "most varied" of her career.
