X Factor judge Cheryl Cole will not be joining the US version of the show, despite reports, says her mum Joan. Joan told The People that Cheryl wouldn’t want to be away from Husband Ashley for too long.
Speaking to the paper about rumours of Cheryl joining Simon on The X Factor USA, Joan said: “No, she’s not going to America, she’s staying here. She will not be going there for that.”
According to the paper, Simon has been “begging” Cheryl to join the show but she has voted herself off the project – despite a deal that would see her earn more than £80,000-a-week husband, Chelsea star Ashley Cole.
“Cheryl is really in favour of working mums but knows this would be quite hard to do in America,” Joan continued.
“She also wouldn’t be able to bear leaving Ashley for too long – not because she’s worried he’ll cheat but because she doesn’t like not being with him.”
It was reported yesterday that Cheryl was being lined up as a judge on the show alongside Paula Abdul, Jay Z and of course Simon Cowell.
