X Factor USA: Nicole Scherzinger Replaces Cheryl Cole on X Factor Judges Panel
X Factor USA have confirmed Nicole Scherzinger’s move to the X Factor judges panel, replacing Cheryl Cole.
A statement on the FOX website about the X Factor judges move said,
FOX, FREMANTLEMEDIA NORTH AMERICA AND SYCO TV today confirm Nicole Scherzinger will be replacing Cheryl Cole on the judging panel of THE X FACTOR. Nicole will join Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and Paula Abdul on their search across America to find the next global superstar or group to win the life-changing $5 million dollar recording deal. Nicole has previously joined Simon Cowell as a guest judge on The X Factor for the UK version of the show in 2010. Steve Jones will act as sole host of THE X FACTOR.
The X Factor USA made no mention of why the changes were implemented, the blogosphere has been gossiping about problems on the X Factor USA show for weeks; citing Cheryl’s homesickness, problems contestants had understanding her accent or a subdued personality.
Perhaps we will never know, Simon Cowell is never one to leave a contractual loose end and it might be feasible that Cheryl will keep quiet about why she was dropped from the X Factor judges panel.
With Nicole Scherzinger joining the X Factor judges panel it leaves Steve Jones as the sole host, we thought it was a curious decision to split the hosting and in hindsight it does appear that Nicole was always a backup plan, even if she wasn’t aware of it.

We wish Simon, Nicole and Cheryl good luck with the X Factor USA and let’s face it, Cheryl is not going to be short of offers.
