Speaking to the Mirror, the X Factor judge said: “I’ve got nothing to say to stupidity. How do you answer stupidity? With intelligence? If I cared I would be bothered.”
Cheryl was responding to comments made on Twitter where the notoriously outspoken businessman simply wrote: “Catching up on X-factor. Cheryl is now too thin.”
And it’s not just Mrs F-V who was put out by the comments. It didn’t take long for the star’s legions of followers to come to her defence, arguing: “Her body is your business why exactly Shugs?”
“Imagine if you had a young daughter who was the same build as Cheryl and she repeatedly read she was too thin no need to comment”.

Cheryl hasn’t been shy in speaking out against what she calls ‘body shaming’.
Speaking recently, the 32-year-old said that discussing someone being thin is no different to calling them fat.
“The other side of body shaming is skinny shaming.
“I think this happens just as much as shaming someone for being bigger. How often do you hear someone say, ‘give that girl a sandwich’, or 'she needs a good feed’?
"Everyone says they want the ‘perfect body’ and have so many body goals, but when a girl is just that bit too skinny, in your eyes, she gets judged. There is so, so, so, so much more to life than having the 'perfect body’.
"Every young person needs to understand that.”
