Cole may turn down X-UK return over treatment on X-USA
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 27 May 2011
So Cheryl Cole was almost certainly pushed from her role as a judge on ‘X-Factor USA’ it seems, even though neither the ‘X’ machine nor the Girl Aloud star have commented on her sudden departure from the new American version of the pop talent show.
Insiders are saying US TV bosses wanted a number of changes to the ‘X’ format after early auditions, and losing the least famous (in the US) judge was among them. The tabs reckon Cole only found out on Tuesday that she’d been axed, and has now fled back to the UK where she is getting over the high profile rejection.
It is widely assumed ITV would gladly welcome her back to the British version of the programme, but some are speculating that she is so angry with Simon Cowell and his Syco team for failing to fight her corner in America that she’ll likely turn them down.
