Cheryl Cole will not be returning to the British version of The X Factor after TV executives withdrew their offer yesterday evening.
The star was initially given the ‘olive branch’ of returning as a judge on the UK version of the hit show after she was suddenly axed from its American counterpart last week.
However, the Daily Mail has learned that since being sacked Mrs Cole has become ‘uncontactable’. She has refused to take phone calls from TV executives, including Simon Cowell, to discuss the option.
As a result, last night they decided to end their interest in bringing her back to the UK show.
A TV source told the Mail: ‘That’s it. Cheryl will not be returning to the British X Factor. People have been trying to speak to her and persuade her this would be a good idea, but she’s been uncontactable.
‘She hasn’t returned phone calls. And you can’t exactly negotiate with someone who won’t even speak to you.’
It also emerged yesterday that Mrs Cole had been under pressure to lose as much as two stone ahead of her ill-fated appearance on the U.S. X Factor.
