Simon Cowell has reportedly admitted that he has offered Cheryl Cole a judging role on the US version of The X Factor.

The Daily Star Sunday quote Cowell as saying:

“I’d love to have Cheryl on the show. We have a great chemistry.”

“Cheryl’s a natural star. People can’t help but warm to her.”

Sources have claimed that Cole has already decided to accept the offer and will move to LA once her divorce from Ashley Cole is finalised.

“Simon thinks America will fall in love with Cheryl, just like Britain has,” an insider said. “She has a unique talent for winning everybody over. She gets involved emotionally with her acts, whereas the other judges don’t. She is incredibly passionate, genuine and caring and he knows he needs a judge like that on the line-up.”

The source continued: “Simon also loves that Cheryl isn’t afraid to stand up to him on the show. He knows their banter will be a massive hit with American audiences. Not only does he want her on American X Factor but he wants her to be sat on the much sought-after seat directly next to him. Cheryl has told Ashley. Now they are working out what to do.”
