However, taking to the stage at the weekend he took the opportunity to make amends and told her: “Cheryl, I’m sorry and I love you”.

Speaking to the Daily Star Grimshaw said, “I can’t wait for everyone to see what he did at judges’ houses because I was Team Simon Cowell at first – I thought he was an arsehole”.
Mason’s atonement comes after tweets from 2013 and 2014 came to light which saw the singing hopeful slag off Cheryl and ask how she is in the music business “let alone a judge”.
Radio 1 DJ Grimshaw – who whisked his hopefuls to a luxury mansion in the Cotswolds where he recruited the help of Ronson – also selected Che Chesterman and Seann Miley Moore for his final three.
Che Chesterman was chosen next, but viewers spotted something interesting.
And X Factor isn’t the only talent show Seann has appeared on, back in 2008 he was spotted in the Australian Idol Grand Final as a guest choir singer. But he was a controversial choice after he argued with head judge Simon Cowell during the Six Chair Challenge over the amount of air time his first audition received on television. “What was tough for me was how to say goodbye to the other three”, he recalled.
Because not only did the 22-year-old clash with Simon Cowell – and get called an “a***hole” in the process – but he was also sent packing. “I did something which a lot of people disagree with”. I want to win.
Mason said: “I’m really overwhelmed that Nick has picked me, he really believed in me. If you’ve got a problem, then go”.
“I’d rather have someone like Mason who’s talented and people have opinions on him, rather than someone who people will think “yeah they’re OK”.
However, it seems she’s willing to put their differences aside after he apologised to her live on the show last night, when he returned and made it through to the live shows, following being kicked out at the Six Chair Challenge stage.

But Mason may have his hardest battle yet, when it comes to making things up to the British public.
