Louis Walsh appears to have let the cat out of the bag after revealing some exciting information about his former X Factor judge, Cheryl Cole. 

Speaking to Bang Showbiz during the Birmingham auditions, he explained that not only is she "fine" but she will tour with Girls Aloud next year:

"I’ve been on the phone to Cheryl all day, honestly I can show you texts, she’s fine."

"She’s getting back with Girls Aloud in 2012 and they’re going to tour."

The 'Promise This' singer is yet to make a statement about either the X Factor USA's recent shake up or the possibility of a Girls Aloud tour, and nothing has yet been confirmed from either Simon Cowell or Cole's team.
