I know nothing has been confirmed but the rumours about Simon returning to The X Factor next year and bringing Cheryl with him seem stronger than ever. I really don't understand why he's so hell-bent on bringing her back, there were far better past judges and I'm sure there'd be far better future ones. Yes she's a pretty face but there are lots of pretty faces out there and as a judge she was pretty useless. Oh and she's a terrible singer.

I'm baffled by his obsession with her. What's in it for him?

Cheryl's appeal is that she was one of the biggest things that made the show what it was when it was at its alltime peak (For better or worse) It makes sense Simon would try and bring her back, and hype the hell out of it, trying to make it seem like it could go back to its 'glory days'.

Because in the words of one poster on here, he wanted to "bang her", but he got denied, ain't that a pity.

I'm no fan of Cheryl's (she was so DULL as a judge - the same inane comments over and over again and a big bored head on her) but she creates ACRES of newspaper coverage. It's fairly clear what Simon sees in her. He's a publicity whore.

His obsession with her is quite pathetic, i remember one show of xtra factor during s7 when some army guys were asking dannii for her number and simon butted in "do u want cheryls number?!!" That was so awkward

He thinks that Cheryl was the main reason for the ratings and will bring back ratings if she returns.

He thinks bringing Cheryl back will bring back the glory days but I think he's going to make a mistake.

Plus if he can bang her regularly like he was smashing Dani's back doors in for awhile that would be a bonus! i expect rumours anyway lots of them

The glory days are never coming back. They bring class like Tamera to the table and there's still no chance of a decent series due to the idiot voting public,

I am a Cheryl fan but even I can see she wasn't exactly exciting as a judge, but there is something that appealed to the masses, and there still is a great deal of interest in her, her book sold really well earlier this year. There is something about her that many people like and of course many don't. So he might think bringing her back will bring back the viewers.

is he really "obsessed" with her though and is he really "hell-bent on bringing her back"? he did recently say their relationship was more amicable now and that they would both like to work together again, but at the same time he also mentioned how he was very impressed with rita ora following a meeting with her at his home.

he knows cheryl's return alongside his would cause a tabloid frenzy and presumably he would hope that would translate into viewers, but he is clearly keeping all his options open at this stage.

She appeals to the lowest common denominator, absolutely golden for ITV.

Cheryl was great for the show, so much publicity.

Well a panel with Cheryl, Simon, Louis and Nicole would at least be all girls together

why does he think we are so obsessed with her? i was glad when she left the first time. Nicole is better looking than her sings better and is a better judge.

It is pathetic. Aside from the fact that he's old enough to be her dad she quite blatantly wasn't interested in him in that way, his obsession with her was verging on dirty old man territory. I didn't like the way he tried to play Dannii off against Cheryl, that made for very uncomfortable viewing and if he can behave like that on live television it made me wonder how he behaves like with his "harem" of ex girlfriends in real life.

He's a sad, narcissistic little man IMO. Women are just toys and objects to him.

Because like the Royal Birth, Cheryl is one of those things you don't care about but you'll watch anyway to see what the hype is about.

Can you imagine if Tweedy had to endure the same technical faults during the duets? She'll end up punching another toilet attendant. Best keep her away..
