Simon Cowell Offers Cheryl £2M For X Factor Return
Quote:
Cheryl Cole has reportedly been offered £2 million to rejoin The X Factor judging panel.
The 30-year-old singer looks set to return to the show replacing zany former Pussycat Doll singer Nicole Scherzinger, who announced she wouldn’t be returning to the show earlier this month.
The reality TV show boss Simon Cowell, who is returning to the panel later this year, is reportedly offering her more money to try and persuade her to come back.
A source told heat magazine: ‘She wants to perform her new material on 'The X Factor' and she knows it's the best way to get her music heard.
‘Simon feels like The X Factor needs to turn a page, forget how bad it was last year and boost ratings again - he thinks he and Cheryl can do that.’
Simon is also said to be giving Cheryl access to his private jet and unlimited funds for her TV wardrobe.
Still a bit of an insult to be offering her less than Nicole was earning after everything Cheryl's been through as far as her friendship with Simon and the show are concerned.
