Cole replacement lined up for 'X Factor'

A temporary 'X Factor' replacement is being lined up for Cheryl Cole.

The News of the World claims the singer will not be seen in public for another two weeks, after she contracted malaria.

Showbiz writer Ashley Pearson says she's been too weak to fight off the disease: "She was very thin, and very stressed…That compromised her immunity, so when she got the malaria it hit her extremely hard."
