US 'X Factor' may enrol Cole as guest panellist

Cheryl Cole could be given a guest panellist role on the US 'X Factor'.

The 27-year-old singer – who is still waiting to hear whether she will land a role on the judging panel of the Fox show – is reportedly being offered the back-up job by music mogul Simon Cowell amid fears US TV audiences won't understand her strong Geordie accent.
