June 10, 200817 yr Mail online ; Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole has been named as the new judge on The X Factor, replacing Sharon Osbourne who quit last week. She will become one of the four judges on the ITV show in a deal which insiders suggest could be worth in the region of £800,0000. Cole, 24, will join Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue on the fifth series of the hit ITV1 reality show.
June 10, 200817 yr I forgot all about the money aspect :o That'll put her even further ahead of the other girls in terms of earnings.
June 10, 200817 yr Now officially confirmed by ITV ; Cheryl joins The X Factor Published: Tuesday, 10 June 2008, 7:09PM It's official! Cheryl Cole will join the judging panel on the upcoming series of The X Factor. She'll take over from former judge Sharon Osbourne, who announced she was leaving the show last week. Ms Cole is no stranger to talent shows: Girls Aloud found fame after winning Popstars: The Rivals. Girls Aloud is one of the most successful British pop groups of the decade - which we think gives Cheryl the perfect credentials for taking a place next to Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue on the judging panel. “I’m so excited to be part of such a great show and although it’s scary joining a huge programme like The X Factor, it’s a massive honour to be following in the footsteps of Sharon Osbourne," said Cheryl. "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," she added. John Kaye Cooper, ITV’s Controller of Entertainment, said: “Cheryl is not only an amazingly successful, sassy and talented woman but through her winning Popstars: The Rivals has been through similar experiences to those hopefuls who want to take The X Factor crown." So, there you have it: goodbye Sharon, hello Cheryl! The X Factor's just got even hotter!
June 10, 200817 yr I forgot all about the money aspect That'll put her even further ahead of the other girls in terms of earnings. Aha, the only one who will be closest to Cheryl will be Sarah with her former solo Ultimo deal.
June 10, 200817 yr Good, Sharon's an old bag. Maybe it will also give Cheryl and Dannii the chance to patch up past differences too.
June 10, 200817 yr Maybe it will also give Cheryl and Dannii the chance to patch up past differences too. What differences have they had in the past?
June 10, 200817 yr What differences have they had in the past? You know what a motormouth Cheryl can be at times, she once said something about how horrible Dannii looks and how men wouldn't find her attractive. Naturally Dannii took offence at that.
June 10, 200817 yr An absolutely great choice. She is going to be amazing as a judge, she knows whats she is talking about, she has been there herself and has a amazing career since. This is also very good publicity for the group even though I dont think they are allowed to use the show to promote LMAO.. Hopefully she will be the winning judge this year!! :D lol
June 11, 200817 yr What about the whole Girls Aloud/Louis Walsh rift?! I look forward to a Louis CHeryl confrontation :kink: I'm thrilled for her :wub: (plus I get to see her every week on TV :cheer:), and I have a message for those bloody tabloids before they get on their high horses with split rumour #189484584 Girls Aloud still have a load of summer dates to do, a book to promote, 2 DVD's to come (Passions & Tangled Up Tour), are recording a new album, and that it was never going to be released this year, but in 2009. Plus there's a tour next year ^_^ And don't even dare twist the Will.I.Am single to make it look like CHeryl was going solo when it was a product of Passions of GIRLS ALOUD.
June 11, 200817 yr cheryl been on x factor is great i hope her and dannii get along also and i think this will do nothing but help girls aloud also as it keeps them out there while releasing notihing

I agree I don't have any doubts that Girls Aloud will be back with a new album
June 11, 200817 yr Author You know what a motormouth Cheryl can be at times, she once said something about how horrible Dannii looks and how men wouldn't find her attractive. Naturally Dannii took offence at that. Dannii actually started it though. She called them slappers and said some nasty things about Nicola. Cheryl then stood up for Nicola.
June 11, 200817 yr Dannii wouldn't just say something like that out of the blue, she's not like that at all.
June 11, 200817 yr Loves this from the Mirror.co.uk, they're trying to pitch them against each other before its even started ; Chart Success: Had hits such as This Is It, but is overshadowed by sister Kylie.

June 11, 200817 yr haha! It's going to be great seeing her on Tele everyweek, I hope Girls Aloud have a little something to Promote by then coz It will be good Promo :)
June 11, 200817 yr Author Dannii wouldn't just say something like that out of the blue, she's not like that at all. Well, I dunno. She called them chavs, not slappers (so not as offensive). It was probably taken out of context and twisted as usual and this was about 5 years ago anyway. I'm sure neither of them are pety enough to still be bothered about it. Apparently, Dannii called Cheryl immediately to congratulate her and said that she was 'thrilled'
