Simon Cowell has praised Cheryl Cole for the way in which she has bounced back from her recent battle with malaria.
The entertainment mogul has claimed that the health scare has given the Geordie lass a "new perspective" on life.
Simon told The Sun that the Girls Aloud star has become "more focussed" following her recent troubles.
Cowell said: "My feeling when I spoke to her recently was that she was feeling in a better place mentally.
"No one wants to go through malaria, but she has definitely come out with a different perspective and I think you will see a sharp, focused Cheryl Cole when she returns to The X Factor.
"She seems more focused and it was a wake-up call to her. At the end of the day your health is the most important thing. We have spoken a lot, and now she has got a sense of perspective on life.
"In a weird way this has helped manage her life better. I think she is going to appreciate what she has and enjoy it more."
