Will Simon and Cheryl return for the UK X Factor?
Ex Factor
Sun, 16/01/2011 - 13:00 bySimon Cowell and Cheryl Cole will not return as judges on the next UK edition of the X Factor. At least that's what Louis Walsh claims, anyway. If it's true, then the show is fucked and will never be the same again. But then again, these words have come out the mouth of Louis Walsh. A mouth which also once spoke the fateful words: "you remind me of a little Lenny Henry", meaning we've got to question its validity.
Of course, Simon's swanning off on his gold-plated jetpack to the US to terrorise the yanks with the mentalist machine that is the X Factor. And chances are he'll be taking Cheryl Cole along with him.
Both shows are due to start in Autumn - or 'the Fall', as they prefer to call it over there - so the big question surrounds how on Earth Simon and Cheryl plan on travelling back and forth across the Atlantic every single week, then stop themselves from falling asleep on the judging panel due to extreme jetlag. Louis Walsh thinks he has the answer, and it is as follows: they don't plan on doing that. The Irish hellraiser spilt these beans to the NOTW:
"It will be me and Dannii on the UK show with two more people."
Simon and Cheryl are virtually irreplaceable and vital for viewers. Take them away, you lose his authority and honesty and her potential-to-beat-a-nightclub-attendant fesityness, and are left with an uncontrollable, Irish lunatic and somebody's sister.
And who are they going to get to replace them? James Corden? Gary Barlow? Peter Andre? Nicole fucking Scherzinger? We've even read somebody suggest Jeremy Clarkson. God forbid.
Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole ARE the X Factor. If they go, the show is doomed.

Oh dear the Fix Factor's fucked. Simon WAS the show.
BGT has already slid its way into the toilet with Michael McIntyre. The Hoff might be funny but only if he's pissed. Will The Fix go the same way? Let's just hope they get in a judge so completely unlikely and 'interesting' that it becomes proper car-crash telly. What about Justin Hawkins? Not only is he a has-been of a cunt but he's insecure too. Double-whammy telly if they get him sloshed in the green room.
Well it depends what you want from the X-Factor really doesn't it? Cowell and Cole stroking themselves? Walsh in spectacular plot loss? Minogue in botox and pretendy-rude girl hell?
Rodger me sideways you could get a troupe of performing monkeys to do what they do! It's not Vim Diesel reading 'The Vagina Monologues' FFS!!
Matt Dawson? He usually gets any gig going. Mylenne Klassless - her too. Is the old dear from Lieutenant Pigeon still alive? Oh yeah, and the continuity announcer from Border TV. There you go.
Before that you've got to ask yourself whether you want the X-Factor at all? I don't
WAKE UP YOU DOCILE CUNTS!!!!!
cheryl disposable, the dark lord himself, less so
To holymoly
she isnt the nations sweetheart,where did that start?oh yeah the press started that crap.even cheryl has said she hates the tag -http://www.metro.co.uk/showbiz/845320-cheryl-cole-being-the-nations-sweetheart-makes-me-cringe.u referring to her as such only gives you an excuse 'to
remind the world why the nation's sweetheart isn't such a sweetheart after all.' which is so frigging BORING and LAZY.
nice work if you can get it...
I think this will give X Factor the chance to try something innovative. Perhaps they could recruit a couple of judges who can actually play a chord on a guitar, sing a note without an autotune dressing or play a piano to at least Keyboard Cat standard.
It would be nice to have the countries biggest talent contest judged by people qualified to have a frapping opinion for once. Mong telly.
Our duty at HM is to remind the world why the nation's sweetheart isn't such a sweetheart after all.
if cheryl goes who would you have to slag off every saturday bout something REALLY stupid they did 8 years ago on a night out?i remember seeing footage of lily allen hitting a girl but no charges were made.cheryl was rightly brought to court and convicted,she did her community service.MOVE ON.
