Britain may love Cheryl Cole as she won the hearts of a nation as he kind hearted and glamorous judge on the UK X Factor but her chances of taking up the role in the US version are now looking slim.

Television bosses in the States are reported to have confirmed that Cheryl Cole will not make the panel of judges for the X Factor US although she may well still feature in the show in a similar role to Sinitta, as the mentor to mentor Simon Cowell.

It is said that Fox Television bosses have stated that Cheryl Cole's strong Geordie accent will be too difficult for American audiences to be able to understand and that she is simply just not famous enough in the US to take such an important reality television role.

Sexy singer Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussy Cat Dolls is said to be expected o be asked to take Cheryl's place on the show.

Nicole has already stepped in as a judge for Cheryl on the UK version of the X Factor when the Girls Aloud singer was suffering from Malaria and was unable to film the show.

The job is reported to come with a wage slip of more than $3 million and will catapult who ever gets the job right into millions of American homes every week.
