Little Mix, One Direction and Leona Lewis. And with rumours rife that The X Factor is set to make its comeback after half a decade, there is one veteran of the show that has already reached out to show boss Simon Cowell in a bid to reclaim her position as judge, Cheryl.The 39-year-old former Girls Aloud star was on the panel from 2008 until 2010, mentoring winners Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry, and proving to be hugely popular with the public.In 2011, she hopped over the pond to star on the US version of the show, but left under a cloud during the auditions, reportedly due to her “hard to understand” Geordie accent, before returning to the UK series from 2014 to 2015.Unfortunately for Cheryl, getting her career back on track might not be quite as easy as she’d hoped, as heat can reveal Simon wants to make her audition alongside the likes of rival judge Nicole Scherzinger – and we’re told she’s not exactly delighted.“Cheryl is mortified – she feels humiliated,” our insider says.
