Is Cheryl Cole rejoining the X Factor USA panel? Well, Simon Cowell would like her to

Could we see Cheryl Cole rejoin the X Factor USA panel? Well, Simon Cowell would like it.

He’s been telling pals he would love to invite her back for a couple of months now, and I can reveal the pair have actually spoken - yes, with their actual mouths and everything.

Cheryl, 29, was unceremoniously sacked from the show after just three appearances on the first season. She was then replaced by Nicole Scherzinger.

After a huge fallout, she then became “frenemies” again with Simon and the pair have even hung out.

Now, after meeting up at his LA pad in January, we can reveal they’ve chatted a couple of times, including while she was in LA, and that little ol’ job on the panel has come up in conversation.

We're told: “Simon would love to have Cheryl back. They’re chatting more an d more at the moment and he’s hopeful she might be up for coming back.

“She’s still spending a lot of time in the States and wants to move out there so it’d looking more likely to be on the cards.”

If Cheryl goes back to LA we might get more amazing 'porange' fashion looks

Cheryl joked last week during an interview that LA based Simon still had “some making up to do” after the big fallout, and he’s quite clearly trying.

He gushed over her in a separate chat last month, saying: “When she walked on set on the first day in the UK I thought that she was one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life. She was just absolutely stunning.”

But Cheryl is still in the midst of a lawsuit with the show’s production company, Blue Orbit, over £1.4million of alleged unpaid earnings. She claims she is owed £1.25million for the second series of the show as well as other expenses.

There are a couple of months to go until they begin filming again, so that’s a couple of months more torture fun we can all have talking about the possible replacement for Britney Spears.

L.A. Reid is also not returning for the next series, so there are two vacant seats beside Simon and Demi Lovato.

We'd love to see Cheryl back on the panel, and we're not the only ones.

None other than moody-faced Twilight star Robert Pattinson revealed he's still grieving over Chery's departure from the X Factor - but he'd like to see her return to the UK show.

The one they call R-Patz said: "I would like to see Cheryl back on the UK X Factor. It is never going to be the same now Simon is not there anymore â€" but having Cheryl back would be good for the show.

"It hasn’t be en the same since the two of them left â€" and if there is a chance to get her back Simon should. In fact Simon should do both shows."

Nice to know you've got famous fans, eh Chezza?

Chez with her BFFs. Sarah was probably busy...

But the Girls Aloud star is hardly sitting at home waiting for Simon to call.

She was out with her former bandmates on the wine this week. Chez went out with Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts for a pub night out.

We bet they were in a Yates's. Their prices are so competitive.
