Just a few seconds of footage — that’s all it took. A playful glance, a knowing smile, and suddenly fans were spiraling back to The X Factor 2014, when Simon Cowell and Cheryl had the kind of chemistry you can’t script.
In a resurfaced interview clip, Simon’s expression while talking about Cheryl left fans buzzing again. “There’s something fishy here!” one viewer tweeted, pointing to the unmistakable warmth — and lingering looks — between the two.
Backstage, insiders once called their bond “explosive,” a perfect blend of banter and brilliance that fueled the show’s golden run. From shared inside jokes to those cheeky exchanges on camera, their dynamic had fans wondering: were they just industry soulmates… or something more?
Neither Simon nor Cheryl ever confirmed anything beyond a close friendship, but one thing’s certain — their connection lit up The X Factor stage and still has fans talking more than a decade later.
