Please be true! It's The Mirror though and hasn't been confirmed so I won't believe it..too good to be true..would be so amazing if true!!

Also none of the judges are decided this early as they them self`s said tonight they don`t normally find out until they get asked in Feb/march time. And we don`t normally know until the auditions are about to start so get ready for 6 months of rumors about who`s in / out

All I want on my judge wish list is for Nicole to be back. So whatever other factors need to happen to make Nicole be a judge is what I want.

The problem is that they left it too late last year, they have to get it into the artists diaries

Sorry Cheryl is suing the American X Factor, but she will be returning to the UK Version.......Ok.

No way would I want her to return,she's up herself too much.

Jeez, so she returns as the saviour to xfactor - why is this non singing woman given so much hype, i just don't get it.

Its no surprise to me that Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole are being lined up to return. Simon has forgot his bread and butter which is the X Factor UK. That for me is the one show which he should focus on trying to get back to the top of the ratings.

For the final of the show on Saturday to get beat by Strictly quarter final is just embarrassing and shows you a lot has went wrong with the series. They need to get rid of Tulisa first of all and then review Louis because I think he has been really poor this series and contributes very little now.

Oh that was two days ago - from suing Cowell and Co on X factor USA for £1.5m to getting a presenting deal from the UK show in 48 hours. All in the space of one X factor finals weekend.

Presumably in two days time we will find out she is pregnant with Simon Cowell's lovechild.

Its another William stunt to get her press coverage - a bit like when he said that Michael Jackson wanted to duet with her just before he died.

No judges will be decided until the spring - and it will be Cowell/ITV/the production company that decide and not William.

The Mirror have become worse than the Sun with their "stories". What does Will.i.am know? About as much as us ie. bugger all and nobody will know for sure until just before the auditions start. Louis will still be there, I think that's the only thing we can guarantee!

Will didn't say anything of the sort, and I'd imagine she'd be a guest on The Voice or something given Cheryl's new connections within the BBC.

After how the single and album faired for Girls Aloud while performing on BBC id say they will want to perform on X Factor next time because those who performed there charted better.

Shame.

Isn't he her manager?

Cheryl said she would not come back, it would be a backward step for her, especially if Girls Aloud are re formed. I hope she doesn't.

Cheryl is 12/1 with paddy power still. Is this defo confirmed

Omg no

I really did not like this series and thinking about switching off next year, now if this is true and Cheryl Cole is coming back my mind is made up i am DEFINATELY not watching!

Yes, you're right, I'd forgotten that Still I don't think any contracts would be signed this early on. A lot can change in a few months.

Biffa Gary Nicole Louis would be a good pannel.

I don't get why people think Biffa and Nicole don't like each other just because of US X Factor.

Apart from Tulisa.

I just hope we don't have a Simon, Cheryl, X, Louis panel in less it was dannii. It would just be weird with them three and someone new instead of dannii. I also think dannii would come back if Simon and cheryl did.

Cheryl never liked Nicole even before X Factor, she said something in an interview that Nicole has no star quality and would never make it as a solo artist.

Cheryl wasn't happy when Nicole stood in for Cheryl during 2010, telling Simon "anyone but her", and Cheryl also wrote in her autobiography about an awkward first meeting where Nicole sang all of Promise This in Cheryl's face (I can actually picture Nicole doing that ). Nicole then made it no secret that she wanted Cheryl's job on X Factor USA even when Cheryl was still on the panel.

I liked Cheryl on the show and wouldn't be against her return (but only if not at the expense of Nicole), but I do think theres a touch of the green eyed monster. Nicole is everything Cheryl wants to be and much more. If you compare their profiles they are extremely similar. Cheryl is to Nicole what Tulisa is to Cheryl, and Cheryl knows it.

Will.I.am is Cheryls manager (I think) so he would know .
I'd love to see Cheryl and Nicole getting along. They are both really pretty so one might become competitive to look the best.

I hope she returns, it would be one of the many good change ups for next year's series.
