Simon Cowell has threatened to axe Cheryl Cole from the 'X Factor' show after their brawl.

The fight started after the 31-year-old singer, who is the former wife of Ashley Cole, demanded to be moved into the 54-year-old 'X Factor' creator's luxury dressing room at the TV studios, which was the only one with a bathtub, the Daily Star reported.

Cowell, who refused to give up his dressing room, told the 'Call My Name' hitmaker that when there was a "the Cheryl day" during the auditions, he thought "Who was working for who there?"

Cole was earlier axed by Cowell from the American version of the 'X Factor' in 2011, after fans across the pond failed to take to her.
