Cheryl Cole 'Offered X Factor UK Judge Job'

Cheryl Cole is reported to have been offered her old job back as a judge on the UK version of Simon Cowell's team about a return to the show next year.

A source said: "Simon wants Cheryl to join him on the judging panel again. He regards the two of them as the dream team.

"The years they did the show together were hugely successful and Simon thinks that they could have an amazing comeback together."

The former friends famously fell out after Chezza's planned move to the US version of the show was scuppered just as it hit the air in 2011.

Chezza was sacked and replaced with Nicole Scherzinger.

But now it looks like the way is being paved for her and SiCo to work together again, after it was reported that the TV mogul could leave the faltering US version of the show in order to help it cut costs.
