Cheryl Cole has denied storming out of an interview earlier this year when the interviewer daftly asked her 'Why are we here?'
The former X Factor judge was apparently asked the question by a BBC3 show backstage at the Capital Summertime Ball earlier this month.
She is reported to have politely explained the interview was to promote her new single Call My Name before she took to the stage to perform at Wembley Stadium.
But the BBC3 team went on to repeatedly ask Chez the same question until eventually she'd had enough.
A source told the Daily Mirror: 'Cheryl was happy to chat to the BBC, but it was a bit odd when they started asking her, "Why are we here?"
'They repeated, "Why are we here?" At that point, it seemed like a dig at her for not being worth of being on the same bill as The Wanted and Jessie J.
'They repeated it again, this time saying, "Why are we here on Earth?"
'There was a slight pause, and then Cheryl walked off. It was obvious by then they were being daft.'
But Cheryl has taken to her Twitter account today to deny she stopped the interview short.
She wrote: 'Fyi.. I have never walked out of an interview in my career. I had to be reminded of what your even referring to.. Stop telling lies.'
However, it turns out rather then BBC3 genuinely wanting to find out Cheryl's philosophical views - or, in fact, undermining her worth - it was all in aid of a new BBC3 prank show called The Revolution Will Be Televised.
The masterminds behind the show manged to blag interview time with the Geordie star backstage at the show.
If their TV gold moment turns out to be true, they'll no doubt be showing Cheryl's strop when it airs later this year.
The source continued: 'They were wearing badges with BBC written on them, so you wouldn't expect something like this to happen.'
