Celeb News: Cowell BEGS Cheryl Cole to come back and save X Factor

Simon Cowell has been in talks with Cheryl Cole to get her to return to The X Factor.

The TV mogul reached out to Cheryl – whom he sacked from the U.S. X Factor earlier this year – two weeks ago when judge Kelly Rowland fell ill halfway through the series and had to pull out.

Kelly has since returned to the show but ratings have continued to decline – dropping by 2.5million viewers compared with last year.

In a move to boost ratings, Cowell is to return to the UK this week for talks with all the judges and contestants – and to try to convince Cheryl to return to the show.

An insider said Simon has made 28-year-old Cheryl an offer ‘she can’t refuse’ – although she has yet to make her decision.

The offer is to appear as a behind-the-scenes mentor during one of the final episodes when she would give advice to all contestants and guidance on their performances.

‘The X Factor UK team and Cheryl did discuss her coming back on the weekend when Kelly was ill,’ the source says. ‘She was up for it but it didn’t quite work out – it was all very amicable.
‘Everything is very friendly and I’m sure they will work together on something in the future, but nothing is being discussed at the moment.’

Cheryl was seen leaving X Factor judge Gary Barlow’s house last week. They were said to be discussing the idea of her return while also talking about a charity single for Children In Need.

‘Simon feels that something is missing from this year’s X Factor, and although he jokes that it’s him he does also feel the nation is missing Cheryl’

Cheryl’s spokesman said last night: ‘She is over The X Factor. It’s behind her, she is moving on with other projects.’

Baby I just need that beat and nothing else, just let it go, just let me go

Personally, I would rather have DANNII than Nicole.

Cheryl would be better in both UK and US X Factor

I don't think we miss her. I just genuinely think we're bored of the same crap each year.

CHERYL on either US or UK X Factor would make my life complete. I need to see this sexy woman on TV more

Яeo.

I don't think the show can be saved.

I'm so over her. I will never understand the UK's fascination with her.

Nadine and Nicola >

TBCH, he needs something to save the US X Factor more than the UK. lol

Marla Singer

Cheryl needs the X Factor more than the X Factor needs Cheryl.

I think America would have fallen in love with her on the US X Factor... Sometimes I wish Kelly was at least on the US version... and Nicole could be on the UK version.

This Cowell-Cole situation is starting to sound like a bad breakup.

She has a better charisma and she's HOTTER than both of the two you mentioned

They need to bring back Cheryl and Dannii, get a new male judge who isn't a smug asshole and stop with all the ******** drama.

With The Voice coming soon they are gonna be sooo screwed.

It's not hard to understand. Nadine is a bitch and Nicola doesn't have the star power. Cheryl is a veritable pop star, has loads of charisma, and remains stunningly beautiful while also down-to-earth and fun to be around.
