Yes- Geordie lass Cheryl has been dumped from this year’s inaugural US X Factor. After months of speculation, it was confirmed earlier this month that Cole had landed the coveted spot on the judging panel alongside former American Idol judge Paula Abdul, Antonio LA Reid and Simon Cowell. But- today we found out our Cheryl just didn't make the cut.
But why is the 'fight for this love' star not going to be on the panel? Media rumours have sparked over her Northern accent playing havoc on the ears of the American public. The Daily Mail opened proceedings with the well-hashed theory that poor Cheryl’s Northern tones would leave Americans even more confused than normal:
“Last night sources said Cole was dropped from the judging panel because producers were concerned her Geordie accent would be too difficult for an American audience to understand,” they said proudly.
Oh yes, that old chestnut- but while Cole’s lilt probably didn’t help matters, such an explanation doesn't explain the last minute nature of FOX’s decision to axe the Geordie lass. After all she didn’t exactly catch wayayitis over the weekend..
But the media's gossip fountain has dripped down into public domain and people are claiming that Cheryl had been sacked due to a lack of spark between her and Paula Abdul. Ooooer- hand bags at dawn?
But did Cheryl just quit? Many people are tweeting that Cheryl simply walked. A very unlikely story don't you think? Coming from the singer of "anything that's worth having is sure enough worth fighting for." Has Cheryl given up the fight?
Former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, who had been lined up to host, will replace her, reports say. That 'bad girl power' that Nicole's got has certainly led her to an envious role in of one of the most anticipated TV programmes.
But as our Cheryl barricades her front door and stocks up on L’Oreal, gorgeous Welshy Steve Jones will host the US X Factor. Oh yes the Welsh accent is no threat to tender American ears. Iawn Da!-ZB
