Welsh performer Charlotte Church has claimed that she would be a better X Factor judge than Cheryl Cole, because she is a trained singer.

Charlotte and Cheryl feud regularly, with Cheryl suggesting that the singer had tried to copy Girls Aloud style for her last album. Now Charlotte is questioning Cheryl’s ability for her newest role.

“I would have jumped at the chance [to replace Sharon],” she told New! magazine.

“It’s a great format and I’m well sorted to judge who can sing.

“I still can’t believe the panel, they have no-one with a trained voice.

“I’m surprised they have not called me.”
