Cheryl Cole was dropped from the judging panel on "X-Factor" largely because producers were concerned her English accent would be too difficult for an American audience to understand ... sources close to the production tell TMZ. .
There were other issues too -- we're told Cheryl and fellow judge Paula Abdul had a "lack of chemistry" ... and Cheryl was more expendable.
Producers now want Cheryl to return to the UK version of the show -- but according to sources, Cheryl's royally pissed over how this situation was handled ... and may sever ties with "X-Factor" entirely.
With Cheryl out, Steve Jones will be the only host on the show -- which debuts in September -- while Nicole Scherzinger fills the open seat on the judging panel.
Calls to Simon Cowell still haven't been returned.

i ma need Cheryl to get her ass back cause if not then **** THE SHOW.
yes, i did shade her here and there in the past, but i have always loved her since day one .
CHERYL >>>>>>>>>>>>>> DAT OTHER UGLY FLOP that replaced her.
That's silly. Did they expect them to have chemistry right off the bat?
You could say the same with Nicole though, because it was reported that Nicole and Steve (the other host) didn't get off with best starts and there was no chemistry.
