Nick Grimshaw twirls tiny Cheryl Fernandez-Versini in the air after star tackles a scooter... as they move on after he accidentally called her 'Cole'

His appointment as a judge split opinion with X Factor fans, but Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is literally floating on air when in the presence of Nick Grimshaw.

The pair have proven just how pally they have got while shooting the auditions stage of the upcoming series by sharing a fun video of their behind-the-scenes antics.

The Fight For This Love hitmaker is seen tackling the latest must-have gadget - a Segway scooter - after a day of filming at Wembley Stadium.

A tad unsteady on the device, Cheryl scoots across the room as Radio 1 DJ Nick gets ready to catch her.

As she comes towards him, Nick hoists super-slim Cheryl into the air and twirls her before putting her gracefully on the ground.

However, the pop star was reportedly far from amused when Nick accidentally called her 'Cheryl Cole' instead of by her current married name Fernandez-Versini when he was asking her opinion during auditions in London last week.

According to reports, the 32-year-old snapped: 'It's Cheryl or Chezza!'

Fellow judge Rita Ora, who was sat between them, said: 'I'm backing away,' while Simon Cowell quipped: 'Awkward, awkward!' 

Cheryl, whose maiden name was Tweedy, was known by the surname Cole since she married footballer Ashley Cole in 2006.

She continued to use his surname following their 2010 divorce, before ditching it in July last year when she married Frenchman Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini.

Last October, a similar incident happened when warm-up host Ian Royce accidentally used Cole instead of Fernandez-Versini in front of the studio audience.

Cheryl said sternly to Ian: ''It's not hard to pronounce my name phonetically' after he tried to joke about her lengthy new title.

She then added: 'It wasn't hard to say unless you were arrogant and had no common sense.'

As a result, Ian was bombarded with abuse from Cheryl's fans on Twitter so he made a public apology.

Meanwhile, Sinitta said last year the name 'Cole' was banned from use anywhere in the X Factor studios.

The Eighties singer told journalists: 'Do not use C-word in this building, the four letter C-word, Cole.' 

Tension: Cheryl had put Nick in his place earlier this week when he accidentally called her 'Cole' in front of an audience, which left her fuming
