Cheryl to move over to US X Factor
X Factor Judge Cheryl Cole
Simon Cowell is pushing for Cheryl Cole to front the US version of the X Factor. Cheryl has been chosen by Simon to star in the show if it moves across to America, as he is hoping her down to eart northern charm and big heart will win over the American public.
Simon is on the brink of signing a deal to take the show to the US, and senior executives from NBC are due to fly to Manchester this weekend to see Cheryl in action at the live auditions.
Cowell, who has an estimated £120m fortune, is also said to want the 26-year-old star to step into his shoes as the main face of the TV talent show on this side of the Atlantic. He has already announced plans to quit after the next series of the X Factor, which pulls in 15m viewers, instead concentrating on Britain’s Got Talent.
