Cowell '1000% keen' for Cheryl to make X Factor return

Simon Cowell is desperate for Cheryl Cole to return to 'The X Factor'.

The music mogul - who worked with the Geordie beauty on three series of the ITV1 talent show before the duo left to become judges on the US version of the programme - is keen for the Girls Aloud star to reprise her role and take over from Kelly Rowland on the panel.
