Amanda Holden praises Cheryl Cole: 'She has big balls and stands up to Simon Cowell'

TV personality Amanda Holden has revealed that she's excited to see Cheryl Cole back on the panel for 'The X Factor' because she has always admired the former Girls Aloud beauty's 'balls'. 

Speaking to EntertainmentWise earlier this week, Holden explained that she loves how the 'Promise This' sensation stands up to Cowell and doesn't take any of his nonsense:

"He likes people who break the rules. I mean, look at Cheryl! She's been outrageous about him and I admire her for it. She's got really big balls that girl, and now she's coming back. So he's always been a rule breaker himself."

Music mogul Cowell recently told press that Cole's decision to rejoin the 'X Factor' as a judge came after a conversation about the acts she worked with, such as One Direction and Cher Lloyd, and how successful they became: 

"You know why she came back, we were having a conversation at my house and we were talking about the talent we had that final year in 2010 - One Direction, Rebecca Ferguson, Cher Lloyd, Matt Cardle, we just had great people, and we just suddenly thought we want to do it all over again. And that was the incentive to do it because there are still great people in this country left."
