ITV give Cheryl £1.5m deal to front shows

Cheryl Cole has reportedly signed a £1.5m TV comeback deal.

The Girls Aloud singer – who was axed as a judge on US 'X Factor' earlier this year after just a few weeks on the singing competition – is set to front a number of prime-time programmes for ITV, as well as a possible chat show, after the network beat off competition from Sky and Channel 5 for her signature.
