This is all getting very confusing.


She may have been kicked off the US X Factor, but apparently Simon Cowell is still relying on Cheryl Cole to save the day on the one over here if it all goes wrong and Tulisa mucks it up.

Yup, according to Now magazine, Tulisa still can’t be totally trusted to make the show the huge success that Chezza made it and if this is the case Mr Cowell will make no bones of pulling his Geordie pet back in.

A source revealed: “[Simon] wants [Cheryl] waiting in the wings to save the UK X Factor, if Tulisa doesn’t work out.”

Poor Tulisa, that’s some pressure she’s got on her there, only the frickin’ nations’ sweetheart waiting to boot her out her judging seat.

Simon’s all controlling force doesn’t stop there, he’s also making sure that if Cheryl is going to be back in the UK doing TV work, she’s going to have her pert little bottom on an X Factor judging seat and none other – especially not The Voice which the BBC will be running.

The show, which will be broadcast in this country early next year after its massive success in the US, is looking for some big names to be on the judging panel, but a source revealed that “Simon wants to put a stop to any offers she’s had from the rival show,” to keep Cheryl tied to X Factor.

Bit controlling that one isn’t he? Would you like to see Cheryl back on the UK X Factor? Reckon Tulisa will be the mammoth success that Chezza was?
