Simon Cowell says US viewers 'will fall for Cheryl Cole'

Simon Cowell is said to be convinced that American viewers will "fall in love" with Cheryl Cole, accord to a report. The entertainment mogul has reportedly given Cheryl his assurances that she will have a role on the planned US version of The X Factor in 2011.

Cowell told a Sunday newspaper that he believes that Cheryl has the correct chemistry to be a smash success in the States.

He told the Daily Star Sunday: "Cheryl's a natural star. People can't help but warm to her."

A source close to Cowell told the newspaper that he wants the 26-year-old to sit beside him on the judging panel of the US show.

The insider revealed: "Simon thinks America will fall in love with Cheryl, just like Britain has. She has a unique talent for winning everybody over.

"She gets involved emotionally with her acts, whereas the other judges don't. She is incredibly passionate, genuine and caring and he knows he needs a judge like that on the line-up.

"Simon also loves that Cheryl isn't afraid to stand up to him on the show. He knows their banter will be a massive hit with American audiences.

"Not only does he want her on American X Factor but he wants her to be sat on the much sought-after seat directly next to him."
