X Factor judge, Louis Walsh has revealed that new judge, Cheryl Cole, is doing “amazingly well” in the X Factor auditions and that she has fitted into her role brilliantly.

“Since seeing Cheryl in action, I now know she was the right choice from all of Girls Aloud for the role,” Walsh told The News Of The World.

“She’s opinionated, good-looking, great TV and she can sing. And Simon loves her. Of course I’ll miss Sharon – she was a mate – but I think Cheryl will match her for entertainment value.”

“Cheryl’s a natural. She’s got all the star quality and charisma to become the new Cilla Black.”
