In a way, the deal, it was almost conditional on Cheryl having the gig. They were desperate for her.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Asked what he thinks stands out about Cole, Cowell replied to Deadline Hollywood: &#8216;With Cheryl, when I hired her initially, I&#8217;d only met her literally once when I offered her the job on [British] X Factor<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I thought she was bright, cute, knew what she was talking about, ambitious.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And you meet someone special a few times in your life.. And this girl is special.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;She&#8217;s just got a great ability to communicate. She&#8217;s a great judge. She&#8217;s smart. It&#8217;s just a hunch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If people take to her like the British public did, I think she&#8217;s going to do really well in America. And Fox was desperate to hire her.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>One person who will not be surprised is Sharon Osbourne.<\/p>\n<p>When Cole&#8217;s role on the show was announced the former UK X Factor judge said: &#8216;Cheryl\u2019s perfect for England &#8211; she\u2019s the nation\u2019s sweetheart and they absolutely love her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But over here it\u2019s Nicole\u2019s town. You have to think of the audience and most of them would never have heard of Girls Aloud. Nicole\u2019s great TV, has a huge following here in the States and people absolutely love her. Plus she\u2019s beautiful and talented.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>This will not be the first time Scherzinger has worked as an X Factor judge.<\/p>\n<p>She was brought in to replace Dannii Minogue on the UK X Factor last year while the Australian singer was on maternity leave.<\/p>\n<p>Cowell then brought Scherzinger back onto the UK X Factor judging panel to replace Cole when she was seriously ill with malaria last year.<\/p>\n<p>At the time there were press reports that Cole was furious with the decision and even texted Simon asking: \u2018Why did you get her?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday there remained no official comment from Cowell, the X Factor or Cheryl.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Explore more:<\/h3>\n<dl>\n<dt>People:<\/dt>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/people\/minogue_dannii\">Dannii Minogue<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/people\/hamilton_lewis\">Lewis Hamilton<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/people\/osbourne_sharon\">Sharon Osbourne<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/people\/cole_cheryl\">Cheryl Cole<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/people\/scherzinger_nicole\">Nicole Scherzinger<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/people\/walsh_louis\">Louis Walsh<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/people\/cole_ashley\">Ashley Cole<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/people\/abdul_paula\">Paula Abdul<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/people\/jones_steve\">Steve Jones<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/people\/cowell_simon\">Simon Cowell<\/a><\/dd>\n<dt>Places:<\/dt>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/locations\/cities\/cannes\">Cannes<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/locations\/cities\/london\">London<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/locations\/cities\/chicago\">Chicago<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/locations\/cities\/new_york\">New York<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/locations\/cities\/los_angeles\">Los Angeles<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/locations\/countries\/united_kingdom\">United Kingdom<\/a>,<\/dd>\n<dd><a href=\"http:\/\/explore.dailymail.co.uk\/locations\/continents\/america\">America<\/a><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>See the article here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-1391223\/Cheryl-Cole-snubs-British-X-Factor-humiliating-axe-U-S-show.html?ITO=1490\" title=\"Cheryl Cole snubs British X Factor after humiliating axe from U.S. show\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cheryl Cole snubs British X Factor after humiliating axe from U.S. show<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Lizzie Smith , Ben Todd , Andrea Magrath , Paul Revoir and Alison Boshoff Last updated at 12:38 AM on 27th May 2011 ITV &#8216;eager for her to return to British judges panel&#8217; Has fled the U.S. and is back in the UK Show co-host Nicole Scherzinger will take her place on judges panel in U.S. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-430971","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
