Sinitta has claimed that Cheryl Cole is ‘definitely in the line-up’ for Simon Cowell’s new American X Factor show.

The ’3 Words’ singer currently sits on the judging panel of the UK show but Sinitta claims that she may be leaving and making a move Stateside, if Cowell decides she is right for his new show.

‘I know she is definitely in the line-up and is being considered,’ Sinitta told Metro.

However, when pressed for further details she panicked, saying:

‘I don’t know if I can say.’

‘This is how I got my ass in trouble a few weeks ago. See my mouth, my lips aren’t moving,’ she squirmed.’

Cheryl has previously admitted that she’d like to appear on the American show saying:

‘It’s kind of really scary, you know? They don’t know me out there, and I’ve got this weird accent, and they’d be a bit like ‘what?’

‘I love the thought of it and I would absolutely love to do it,’ she added.
