There is fresh speculation that Cheryl Cole could make a return to The X Factor by featuring on the panel during the live shows.
Cheryl quit earlier this year to become a judge on The X Factor USA, but swiftly lost her new role and turned down an offer to rejoin the UK series.
Stories that a return is back on the cards are once again going round the rumour mill.
Heat Magazine reports that the Girls Aloud singer will be making a comeback for the live shows which commence next month, but only as a guest judge – for the time being at least.
“Cheryl is in talks to be a guest judge on the live shows,” a source said. “Nothing is set in stone, but everyone involved knows it’s going to be the most explosive thing The X Factor has ever seen.
“It’s an extremely closely guarded secret. People who work on the show don’t know about it yet.”
New judge Tulisa Contostavlos recently claimed her job was still Cheryl’s, and that she would be pushed aside if producers wanted her to return.
Would you like to see Cheryl Cole feature as a guest judge in the live shows? Or should the show just go forward with ‘the next generation’ of judges?
Keep it central!




Stick with the new judges they are doing a great job, i think every1 needs to put the whole cheryl story and move on! its not the Cheyrl show its the X-Factor!
Cheryl is the only one who attracts me to follow this show :x
WTF She should never return she had her chance went for USA and dumped UK for more money in which was revealed by Sky News and Others Her UK contact should never be looked at again The New Panel rocks we her it will never work
The revived XF is working and someone misses the limelight.
No, she shouldn’t be allowed back in any capacity. She made a choice to ditch the Uk for the USA. When that didn’t work out, she was offered (wrongly) the UK again and turned it down. Now the reboot ratings have not suffered from the departures, she wants to grab the headlines again. I think not.
Someone tweeted a 5th group. What one would that be? A special group just for Cheryl which she can cherry pick acts…..
Get a grip! Cheryl is fantastic
You are kidding
i think it been the best ever so far good job new judges keep it up out with the old in with the new
I like the new judges and do not want Cheryl back.
Bring her back please!!! Nicole sucks
Cheryl is a nice judge, but we need sth new this season and the new judges did a fantastic job.So far so good, any changes now is stupid. Cheryl should come back as as guest performer in the live show
