Simon Cowell recently revealed to Piers Morgan that the primary reason Cheryl Cole was ejected as a judge of the American version of The X Factor was because she was not smoothly adapting to presenting on American television.
Regarding his decision to remove Cole as judge, Cowell stated: “You come to a country like America, it’s a big deal – it takes a while to adjust and I took the view along with a few other people that she would be more comfortable back in the UK.” Cowell added: “That’s what you have to do when you produce – you have to make decisions in the moment, and I take full responsibility for it.”
Cowell also confirmed that Cole refused an offer to return to the British version of X Factor and that she also did not accept a job as judge of Britain’s Got Talent. Cowell’s revelations come after he has previously publicly apologised to Cole for her removal from the American singing competition program. Rumours have been floating around indicating Cole might become a judge on the upcoming UK edition of The Voice, but nothing has been set in stone.
If this rumour about Cole joining the UK version of The Voice is true, it would appear that she is still interested in being a singing judge, but not on a show associated with Cowell. Maybe Cheryl is concerned that any job offer she accepts from Simon will simply be terminated a few weeks later. It’s just business, eh, Simon?
