Cheryl Cole has never made her desire to break America a secret, going to Los Angeles to record her albums and making friends with U.S. stars including rumoured boyfriend Derek Hough.<\/p>\n

And now, following claims American viewers on the U.S. X Factor would struggle to understand Cheryl’s strong Geordie accent, Cat Deeley has come forward to say she predicts a great future for the Girls Aloud star Stateside.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old star, who successfully made the transition herself after going from presenting SM:TV to So You Think You Can Dance?, insists Cheryl has the potential to become ‘America’s sweetheart’.<\/p>\n

\n

‘She’ll do well’: Cat Deeley says Cheryl Cole has the potential to become ‘America’s sweetheart’ if she becomes a judge on the U.S. X Factor<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She said: ‘Cheryl is just completely charming. The whole public love her and she’s the nation’s sweetheart – I don’t see why she wouldn’t be that in America too.<\/p>\n

‘People talk about the accent all the time – maybe they would understand her, maybe they wouldn’t.<\/p>\n

‘It’s difficult to tell but I don’t see it as a stumbling block. She could do something about that anyway if she needed to.’<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

New role? Cheryl is hotly tipped to be a judge on the U.S version of X Factor. She’s seen here on the UK show with Dannii Minogue and Simon Cowell<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, Cat also said 27-year-old Cheryl should be prepared with the work involved in breaking the States if she is to be given a role on the judging panel of the U.S. show.<\/p>\n

She said: ‘It’s going to be an awful lot of pressure. It’s going to be one of the most expensive TV shows ever made and it’s going to have big expectations behind it.’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cat told U.S. TV host Ellen DeGeneres she is feeling incredibly nervous about hosting the coverage of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding for CNN.<\/p>\n

\"'I<\/p>\n

‘I feel sick!’ Cat said she is feeling sick about the daunting prospect<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Wearing a white crocheted full-sleeved mini dress and towering heels as she spoke to Ellen, Cat said: ‘It’s kind of exciting. But there’s a bit of me that’s absolutely terrified.<\/p>\n

‘There’ll be more than 750 million people watching and it slightly makes me want to vomit slightly into my own mouth.<\/p>\n

‘I’m very nervous about it. But I think it’s going to be good!’<\/p>\n
