She rounded on a fellow judge.
Last night on The Greatest Dancer saw the three dance captains, Cheryl, Otlile Mabuse, a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing and Matthew Morrison, a Broadway performer and former actor on Glee attempting to decide what acts go through to the live shows.
The competition has been very tough to date, with performers from all different styles of dance attempting to wow the audience and the dance captains.
There were plenty of acts that brought the captains to tears, and with each judge only allowed three acts to take into the lives, it was always going to be a difficult process.

Things certainly got heated when it came to selection time and during one spat, Cheryl turned to Matthew to ask which dancer he wanted, when Oti tried to interject, Cheryl was quick to cut her down saying, “I didn’t ask you.”
VERY awkward viewing indeed!
On Twitter, people were quick to express their disappointment:
Cheryl comes across as a right bitch. #thegreatestdancer

I watched 20 seconds of #thegreatestdancer before I had to turn that tripe off. Even if the bitchiness between @OtiMabuse and @CherylOfficial was fake, it was a cheap play by both of them. You represent and influence female viewers, set a better example next time #girlsgirl

Others came out in support of Cheryl standing up for herself:
I love how feisty @CherylOfficial got choosing her final three #thegreatestdancer

The Greatest Dancer is Simon Cowell’s latest venture and sees dancers from all different styles giving it their all in the hopes of impressing the audience and making it through to the callback stage.
Next week sees the first instalment of the live shows and we’d say last night’s drama was the tip of the iceberg.
