"I accept the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and I nominate Liam Payne, Piers Morgan and Nicola Roberts," said the former Girls Aloud star, before squealing, "Let's do it." A cool-looking Jean-Bernard is then seen dousing his wife, to which Cheryl says – most likely aimed at Simon – "I hope you're happy." Simon had also nominated his fellow X Factor judges Mel B and Louis Walsh to take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge.
