Cheryl Cole says X Factor return is for Gary Barlow, not Simon Cowell

Cheryl Cole has insisted that her return to the X Factor is only a favour for Gary Barlow.

News emerged over the weekend that the Girls Aloud star would be helping out Barlow during the judges' houses section of the series.

It prompted show supremo Simon Cowell to tweet: "Welcome back Cheryl. X."

However, the Metro quotes the 'Call My Name' singer as confirming that her shock return to the TV talent show wasn't for Cowell - but for her friend Barlow. She said:

"I saw Simon's tweet. I'm not doing this for him. I am doing this for Gary as he's my friend and he asked me to do it."

Speaking about recording Cole's cameo on the X Factor, Barlow had previously joked on Twitter: "Just so we don't clash, I'm wearing the pink suit with the red shoes ;)."
