Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole will not return for the next UK edition of The X Factor, their fellow judge Louis Walsh has claimed.
Speaking to the News of the World, the Irish music manager seemed to confirm speculation that the 'Promise This' singer will join Cowell on the judging panel of the forthcoming US competition.
"It will be me and Dannii [Minogue] on the UK show with two more people," he stated.
The paper further reports that ITV bosses are desperately attempting to convince Cowell and Cole to reconsider their Stateside move.
A TV source said: "It will be a disaster if they both go."

LOL
it will be a joke with Louis and Dannii at the helm...they are z-listers really. Theyre not leaders thats for sure. Simon is the most authorative person in international TV talent show judging panels. Without him they look kinda amateurish.

I said this would happen(with Simon anyway)can't say I blame him after all the flack the UK public and media give him,it was obvious he would give up on it eventually,it's a shame as it wont be the same without him.

Well I hope the Americans are happy.
Cheryl, I've always stood by you but you can ****** off now, after all the UK has given you and you ditch us for these things.
Same goes for you Simon, Wanker.
Get Pixie Lott in to replace Cheryl and Keith Lemon in for Simon.
Who needs them anyway!

I would guess that Simon will take some role in the proceedings but it was clear this year for lots of reasons, he was struggling to find a great deal to say as to the acts so maybe he feels he needs to allow new life to be injected by someone else.
I am disappointed Simon may not be on the panel next time but also I am overjoyed that Cheryl Cole is likely not going to be,maybe prayers get answered after all'
However,Dannii and Louis will need to step up a bit but the success of the show, which will go on anyway as its the acts who are the stars really,will obviously depend on who the other judges/mentors will be.
Simon will still mastermind it,you can be sure of that but new blood is needed on the show now with new thinking too.
Dannii would have to be still on this year having got the Winner last year,also, they once tried the show without Louis and there was an outcry to bring him back so the right 2 are staying for now.

I told you all didn't I that last year's X Factor would be final one really, because it'll all go downhill from 2011.
Did you all believe me?
No.
'St.fu Patrick you negative bastard. No one is going anywhere'
'Patrick calm, Cheryl and Simon will figure won't go to America, don't worry'
'FGS Patrick, Simon said he'll do both at once, it'll be the exact same'
How wrong you all were.
I seen this coming months ago, Cheryl has betrayed us and Simon... Ugh.
After him giving that speech about how much he loved working in the UK version and then goes and does this.
Wanker.
I doubt they'll even come back for 2012 either.
Ramsay

What makes you think it'll go downhill?
Cheryl has always been ****
Simon has slowly gotten worse
The 2 best judges are Danni and Louis
Well I hope the Americans are happy.
Cheryl, I've always stood by you but you can ****** off now, after all the UK has given you and you ditch us for these things.
Same goes for you Simon, Wanker.

Who needs them anyway!
Omg yes!!

No they weren't wrong at all, they only signed a new three year deal a couple of months ago, it will be here until at least 2013

**** all the judges, just have a judging panel of 4 Dannii Minogues. That would be brilliant.

They'll come back, Simon wouldn't give up his UK presence and Cheryl needs it to sell albums.

Realisticly, they'll get Katy Perry in :rolleyes:
She sucks, she's not a good judge.. well she probably is, I didn't watch the boring week when she was on but come on, They need Pixie Lott.
Not Nicole, who would be their second choice :rolleyes:
And not over rated Perry.
Pixie Lott.
It's just a question though of what man they'll have to replace Simon...?

Simon has lost his spark and Cheryl well, isnt that good anyway. Dannii and Louis were far better judges this year!

Yes !!!!!!
I can't see this being true....

hopefully it is

So hope this is true. Without those two the show can be axed sooner.
ITV can then spend the extravagant amount of money they use to pay for it on actually making some good non reality programmes and stop with the constant repeats.

Won't be worth watching without Cheryl and Simon

I think this is completely true. The News of the World are almost always right.
It is virtually impossible for them to do both shows at the same time.
and before some smart Alec butts in and says "well len and bruno do it on strictly come dancing", they don't have the added job of mentoring their contestants.

I don't believe Simon will give it up. He may miss certain parts of it like the auditions. But like with BGT he will show up for the important live parts.
He can do the UK & US shows if he really wants to. But if him and Cheryl do go I doubt Ill watch. It'll just suddenly look third rate. Louis is OK as the joke on the end...but as chief judge he just isnt authorative enough.
Marsh.
16-01-2011, 09:35 PM
Well whether they want to or not i think it can be possible. Simon did X Factor and American Idol at the same time didn't he?
But it would "shatter the illusion" that they mentor the acts on either the US or UK versions if they're constantly flying back and forth.

They can mentor their acts from a distance. Its their team that does all the vocal & choreography work anyways. The hands on stuff. The mentors just choose the songs and approve things.

Cheryl Cole is easily replaceable.
Simon Cowell.. not as easy.
Beastie

I heard rumours James Cordon could be a judge. I rather he doesn't. The 2 new judges should have some link to the music industry. Charlotte Church and Lily Allen would be good. Also maybe Gary Barlow.

Simon please don't go!! You have been one of the best thing about these shows since the beginning. Without you there's a huge gap. Don't give a toss about cheryl, nicole was more fun anyway. siiiimon don't leave us for la la land:bawling:

17-01-2011, 06:57 PM
Simon got **** when Cheryl joined, he dropped the nasty act therefore making him pointless. It won't be a massive loss without them at all.

I hope it's true I hate the two of them

Anyone think this could possibly have a backlash affect on Cheryls UK career a tad? People seeing the switch from the UK to the US as a bit of an abandonment? Probs not, just a thought!
Doubt any of them will leave though, just the usual dramatic news that constantly filters out from the x factor to build ratings/talk.
