Sinitta regrets outburst at Simon Cowell after X Factor snub

Sinitta regrets telling Simon Cowell to "kiss her black ass" after her snubbed her from ‘The X Factor’.
The ‘So Macho’ hitmaker unleashed a vicious rant on social media over the summer when she found out that her best friend has asked Cheryl Tweedy to be his guest – a role she usually gets – during the Judges’ Houses round of the singing competition instead of her, but she has admitted she now feels a little embarrassed by her tirade because it was "very un-lady like" to bring her bottom into it.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’ on Friday (17.11.17), she said: "I’m over it now. I must admit, it was a bit unlady like when I talked about my… you know… I told [Simon] to kiss my black [behind] – that wasn’t lady like."
Although she was fuming, the 54-year-old singer reached out to the music mogul a few weeks back when he was rushed to hospital after taking a tumble down a flight of stairs because she realised their friendship is more important than a television show.
She explained: "It’s okay. The friendship is more important than the show, isn’t it? First of all, it wasn’t me [that pushed him]. [His collapse] did actually help cure the rift because you go, ‘Oh my gosh, something has happened’. All of a sudden, I was just concerned about him."
However, Sinitta may get her job back next year as Simon, 58, would like Cheryl – who gave birth to her first child Bear eight months ago – to reclaim her seat on the judging panel for 2018’s series.
Asked whether he would have her back on the panel, he said: "We’ll consider it. Let’s wait till the end of the show… maybe [current judges Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne] don’t want come back [next year and there will be a space on the panel]. Let’s see what happens, I wouldn’t rule anything out."
