Pop singer Cheryl Cole has said that fellow 'X Factor' judge Simon Cowell is "like a big brother" to her.
According to OK, Cole said: "He can take the mick and be rude like a big brother could but he's also the best person to talk to and is always there when you need him."
"At times he is one of the only people who understands. I know we have our differences at times but he really is an amazing person to call a friend and of the smartest people I know."
