Cheryl Cole was under pressure to lose as much as two stone ahead of her ill-fated appearance on the U.S. X Factor, it emerged yesterday.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old singer is said to have been advised by an unnamed executive at the Fox network that she would need a huge image makeover if she wanted to win over audiences stateside.<\/p>\n

Cheryl quickly enlisted the help of Gwyneth Paltrow\u2019s personal trainer Tracy Anderson to try to achieve a more svelte physique after developing a curvier figure since battling back to health following a bout of malaria last year.<\/p>\n

Makeover: Cheryl Cole is said to have been advised to lose as much as two stone ahead of her ill-fated appearance on the U.S. X Factor, it has emerged. She looked considerably more voluptuous at the Celebrate Success awards in March than she did at the Glamour Woman of the Year awards last year<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, she appeared looking noticeably more voluptuous as she left the airport in Chicago last weekend following auditions for the talent show.<\/p>\n

Fuller face: Cheryl has looked curvier in recent months<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Just days later she was axed from her role on the U.S. show.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cheryl will not be returning to the British version of The X Factor after TV executives withdrew their offer yesterday evening.<\/p>\n

The star was initially given the \u2018olive branch\u2019 of returning as a judge on the UK version of the hit show after she was suddenly axed from its American counterpart last week.<\/p>\n

However, the Daily Mail has learned that since being sacked Cheryl has become \u2018uncontactable\u2019.<\/p>\n

She has refused to take phone calls from TV executives, including Simon Cowell, to discuss the option.<\/p>\n

As a result, last night they decided to end their interest in bringing her back to the UK show.<\/p>\n

A TV source told the Mail: \u2018That\u2019s it. Cheryl will not be returning to the British X Factor.<\/p>\n

‘People have been trying to speak to her and persuade her this would be a good idea, but she\u2019s been uncontactable.<\/p>\n

\u2018She hasn\u2019t returned phone calls. And you can\u2019t exactly negotiate with someone who won\u2019t even speak to you.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"No<\/p>\n

No return: Cheryl is said to have refused to take phone calls from TV executives, including Simon Cowell, about the possibility of returning to the British X Factor<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, Amanda Holden, who is a judge on another of Cowell’s shows, Britain’s Got Talent, said today that Cheryl will regret it if she doesn’t go back to the British show.<\/p>\n

She told Radio 2: ‘There is dark talk of Cheryl snubbing a return to British X Factor.<\/p>\n

‘Please do not do this. You will regret it for a long time.’<\/p>\n

Last night it was confirmed that Tulisa Contostavlos, from hip hop group N-Dubz, had signed a deal to join the UK judging panel.<\/p>\n

She will appear with Take That singer Gary Barlow, U.S. pop star Kelly Rowland and long-serving judge Louis Walsh.<\/p>\n

\n

Getting into shape: Cheryl was pictured leaving the gym earlier this month. She enlisted Gwyneth Paltrow’s personal trainer Tracey Anderson to help her get into the best shape possibl<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
