Cheryl Cole - X Factor

Girls Aloud star Cole has replaced for Sharon Osbourne, who quit after series four.
“We weren't friends. We weren't always fighting but Sharon made it clear that she didn't like me, so she won't be missed. Not by me,” Minogue said in the Daily Telegraph, "I thought she loved the show, but she must have felt it was her time to leave. It seemed maybe she was just a bit unhappy. The new line-up works brilliantly."

Danni also told the Radio Times: "Everybody's jumping on me going, 'What's Cheryl like? Are you two fighting yet?' Well, I've only had a few days of filming with her so far, so let's wait and see... It'll be interesting to see how she handles it."

BBC News has quoted Cherl saying "It's a massive honour to be following in the footsteps of Sharon Osbourne," she said. "The rest of the girls have said they're right behind me, which is really important for me as it will be weird to be on the other side of the fence this time. So whilst we get started on the next album, it will be brilliant to be a judge on The X Factor."

The new job should take the 24-year-old singer's mind off her marriage despair- her husband, Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole, had an alleged alliance with a hairdresser previously this year but the couple are believed to be looking for a resolution.
