Cheryl Cole recalled to US X Factor?

Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. It was reported that she had been sacked from the judging panel of the US X Factor and that Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger had replaced her. But the latest we hear is that she is back on the show.

The Britain's News of the World reported that Simon Cowell has requested the Fox executive to call Cheryl back to the show. Now, the singer is expected to join the judging panel for the auditions in New Jersey this Wednesday (June 8).

“This is the biggest surprise... Cheryl is back. Who could have possibly have predicted this - it appeared that Simon had dumped Cheryl for good? But behind the scenes Simon has been wooing Cheryl. And key executives at Fox all realised they had made a big mistake. They have been watching the tapes of her at the American auditions and realising that she could be a huge star over there," the Tabloid quoted a source as saying.

If Cheryl is called back to the show, she will join L.A. Reid, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell on the judging panel.
