Cheryl Cole has reportedly been replaced by Nicole Scherzinger on the US version of The X Factor. Entertainment news site TMZ announced the “huge shake up” but as of yet, the reasons for the switch are unclear.

What do you think, true or just rumours?

UPDATE

TMZ are reporting that Cheryl Cole was reportedly dumped from the US X Factor judging panel because her Geordie accent was too thick.

According to the report, 27-year-old Cole also had a ‘lack of chemistry’ with fellow judge Paula Abdul and bosses thought the British pop star was the ‘more expendable’ of the pair.

Meanwhile the Sun newspaper are claiming Cheryl was homesick.

It is still unclear if Cole will return to the UK X Factor if the rumours are indeed true.
