London,
(ANI):
Cheryl
Cole's
alleged
lover
Derek
Hough
apparently
wants
a
role
in
reality
show
The
X
Factor
but
can't
agree
a
deal.
Hunky
dancer
Derek
has
been
in
secret
talks
with
Talkback
Thames,
which
produces
the
show,
about
a
permanent
role.
Cole
wants
him
to
take
over
from
choreographer
Brian
Friedman,
who
is
being
promoted
to
creative
producer
on
Simon
Cowell's
new
project,
the
US
version
of
the
hit
show.
"Derek
wants
to
be
creative
director,
which
is
the
title
Brian
Friedman
had," the
Daily
Star
quoted
an
insider
as
saying.
"And
he
has
fixed
himself
up
with
hot
shot
LA
agents
Creative
Artists
to
negotiate
a
deal
for
him.
But
Talkback
Thames
has
told
him
they
can't
afford
to
pay
him
creative
director
money.
They
have
offered
him
a
job
as
a
choreographer
and
that's
it.
Cheryl
thinks
Derek
is
massively
talented
and
wants
him
to
play
a
big
part
in
the
series,"
insider
added.
Cole
has
been
close
to
Derek
since
her
marriage
to
cheating
footballer
Ashley
Cole
broke
apart.
