Cheryl was used to hype X-factor

Nicole's manager claims his client was always going to be a judge on the show and Cheryl was just invited along to spice things up. This would explain why Cheryl has been left feeling so hurt. Lets face it no-one in this country would pay any attention to US X-factor unless Cheryl was involved, it will eventually turn up on ITV2 in the near future and people are bound to have a nosey just to see what al the fuss was about.
