Cheryl Cole's rumoured autobiography will apparently reveal that Simon Cowell was "begging" her to help him escape his relationship with Mezhgan Hussainy.

The 'Call My Name' singer is allegedly planning a tell-all book in response to her former X Factor boss's own unauthorised biography The Intimate Life of Simon Cowell, in which he claimed to be "mesmerised" by her.



Sources have now said that the book will shed light on their close friendship prior to Cole's X Factor USA firing, apparently detailing how they approached each other for relationship advice.

"Cheryl says Simon used to make late-night phone calls confiding in her that he was unhappy with Mezhgan and begging her to help him find a way out of the [engagement]," a source told Heat.

Insiders also allege that Cowell told the Girls Aloud singer he would give up "all the girls" for her and tried to woo her with the X Factor USA job.

On how Cole's own failed relationship with ex-husband Ashley will feature in the book, the insider added: "There'll be details that he won't like. Cheryl argues that he shouldn't have a say in what goes into the book.

"She says she'll admit that she walked away from marriage. She'll also talk about the crisis she went through after his cheating, because she wanted a family and thought she'd always love him."

Cowell's split from Hussainy was confirmed by a friend in February. The Syco boss is quoted in his biography as admitting that the engagement was "a big mistake".
