CHERYL Cole has been dramatically replaced as a judge on the U.S. version of X Factor, it was revealed last night.
The Geordie beauty, 27, is homesick and it is thought her place will be taken by former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.
A senior show source said: "It hasn't worked out. She's homesick and wants to return to the UK. She's had enough. Whether she ends up back on UK X Factor is open to speculation."
Reports emerged today that Cheryl was already on her way back to the UK.
Dannii Minogue, who was forced to quit the X Factor earlier this month, sent a message of support this morning.
Cheryl had already judged some televised auditions in the States after winning her dream job on the show.
Last night's sensational news cut short Cheryls' American dream.
After months of speculation, she was finally confirmed as a judge on May 5 and secured a £1.2million contract. But producers included a get-out clause so they could drop her after the first series if she failed to win over viewers.
