SIMON Cowell was sensationally booed by the audience on Britain's Got Talent last night over his sacking of Cheryl Cole.
Cowell, 51, seen smoking at BGT's London studios, fears Chezza, 27, will never speak to him again after the US X Factor snub.
He confided in private: "She's had it with me."
The first of a week of BGT finals was the first time the mogul had been seen in public since he cruelly dashed Cheryl's dream of cracking America.
A source in the audience said: "The gossip before the show was all about Cheryl and Simon. People were reading The Sun and saying, 'Can you believe what he's done to poor Cheryl?'.
"As soon as the warm-up guy said, 'Simon is in the building,' everyone suddenly started booing. People were saying, 'That's for Cheryl'."
Cowell suffered further embarrassment when host Dec Donnelly, half of Ant and Dec, appeared to stick up for fellow Geordie Cheryl by asking: "Can you understand my accent?"
She is thought to have baffled US TV executives with her broad North East dialect.

Cowell has now stopped trying to contact Cheryl after she failed to respond to a blizzard of texts and calls.
And when ITV officially announced the new UK X Factor line-up yesterday, there was NO mention of departed judges Cheryl and Dannii Minogue.
A pal of Cowell said: "He was saying, 'She's had it with me. I've hurt her and she won't forgive me for this'.
"He is really worried that she won't speak to him ever again."
