Former Girls Aloud beauty Cheryl Cole is inconsolable since being axed from her role as a judge on U.S X Factor in favour of ex-Pussycat Dolls singer, Nicole Scherzinger, according to my close sources.
Cheryl’s mother Joan Callaghan has been by her side trying to comfort the star who flew back to the UK yesterday.
A friend of the ex-judge told me, “It’s not good at all, and she is so devastated and embarrassed by the whole thing.” Adding: “This is humiliating for her in the same way it was for Kelly Brook when she was booted off Britain’s Got Talent a couple of years back, but Cheryl is a tough cookie, she’ll pull through, she is with [her mother] Joan now.”
A show insider told the Sun Newspaper yesterday the reasons for Cheryl being replaced was that she was feeling ‘homesick’ but now it’s very clear that couldn’t be further from the truth. Cheryl has had her sights set on this job for over a year and couldn’t believe her luck when she was finally hired, it was like a dream come true. Now however, that dream is shattered and she has gone home with her tail between her legs.
My spies tell me that Cheryl’s accent was only part of the problem and the decision to pull the plug on her £1.2m contract came from the top, claiming it was out of Simon Cowell’s hands, saying: “Simon had done everything within his power to land Cheryl the job, I’m sure he is just as disappointed.”
On a brighter note, having a ‘thick’ Geordie accent is hardly a crime and albeit brief, Cheryl’s connection to X Factor has certainly raised her profile here in the U.S, she is talented girl and could easily turn this nightmare around with a bit of positive thinking.
She’s still Cheryl Cole, number one popstar, former X Factor judge and Vogue covergirl…
My advice to Cheryl is pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again… I do it all the time!
