Cheryl Cole confirms X Factor return

Cheryl Cole will return as a judge on the UK X Factor this year.

The news was confirmed by the singer on Instagram and by Simon Cowell on Twitter last night (March 10).

The Girls Aloud star, who was a popular fixture on the panel between 2008 and 2010, said alongside a photo of herself strangling Cowell:

"GUESS WHAT!!...I'm baaaacccckkkkk!!!!#iMayActuallyRingHisNeck #XFactor2014."

Cowell meanwhile wrote: "It's official. Cheryl is back. Be careful what you wish for! Most importantly she is a brilliant judge of talent."

The music mogul is also due to return to the show this year as they look to rediscover their glory years.

Cole's relationship with Cowell soured, however, in 2011 when she was axed from the US X Factor before it even hit the country's TV screens.
