Cheryl Cole was reportedly left furious after her X Factor Judges' Houses round was plagued by troubles.
The judge, who was filming her portion of the round at a country house in Ascot, Berkshire, was apparently shocked to find that the property was surrounded by scaffolding as builders carried out extensive work on the mansion.
Filming took place while the construction work was still being finished, and Cole was then angered further when a builder dropped scaffolding while one of her acts was performing, reports The Sun. Recording was stopped again later on in the day as someone started using a loud vacuum cleaner.
The singer - making her return to the ITV1 show for the first time since she was diagnosed with malaria - is said to have fumed at executive producer Richard Holloway, and was supposedly comforted by will.i.am, who was acting as Cole's guest adviser during the round.
A source said: "It was a letdown. The builders had to be told to stop work. All the acts were clearly affected."
This year's Judges' Houses round sees Simon Cowell's acts travelling to Spain, Louis Walsh's category being assessed in Ireland, and Dannii Minogue's group meeting their mentor in Australia.
Why did Cheryl have the acts at her house if she knew she was getting building work done. She could have borrowed one of Simon's home instead.
I don't think it is her house, it says A house, probably hired for her.Quote:

The 'New York 2010' singer, who is promoting the BT Digital Music Awards, said that it was unlikely she would be offered a role, but that she believed she would be a good addition to the panel.
Faith has previously announced her desire to join the show on Twitter, writing: "I want to guest judge The X Factor!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeease Mr Cowell please!"
She explained: "I've tweeted that I'd like to be a guest judge on The X Factor, which I don't think is likely, but I just think it would be nice for them to have someone who's got something interesting to say on there."
Speaking about the music industry's attitude to digital and online technology, Faith added: "I think initially, the record industry struggled a lot with digital media because there a lot of aspects to it that can potentially destroy our industry.
"But, in some ways, what's happening now is people are realising that we can use it to our advantage."
Cheryl Cole will return to The X Factor with a new set of raunchy outfits, according to reports.
The Sun claims that the 'Promise This' singer, who missed the latter part of the talent show's auditions due to illness, is keen to compete with guest judge Nicole Scherzinger.
"Cheryl is refusing to be outwitted or out-titted," said a source. "Cheryl will have more edge, more wit and quite a lot more cleavage than ever.
"She is going to be pulling out all the stops in the coming weeks now she's back to her best following her battle with malaria."
The X Factor continues this Saturday from 7.30pm on ITV1
She has not got a lot up top to show cleavage lol

Oh thank god that stupid fake girl didn't get to go to judges houses..
Quite like the choices the judges made and I'm with Shiv, would not have watched if that silly platic girl made it through. Mind you she did manage to muck it up for herself, going partying all night and not preparing properly for her audition. Hope she is not in the Sunday papers AGAIN!
