Cheryl Cole will be returning to the X Factor 2010 show ready for the Judges Houses’ stage. This week she has released sneak previews of her new 2011 calendar sending her fans and viewers of the show a clear message that she is well and recovering form her recent battle with malaria.

Cheryl said in a recent interview that she couldn’t wait to find out what her category will be when she returns to X Factor. Cheryl loves developing talent and seeing them flourish. With Cheryl recording her follow up to her debut album in LA, it is thought that she will remain there and fly the contestants out to her. Recent press has suggested that Simon Cowell’s contestants will join him in Cyprus, Dannii Minogue’s in Melbourne, Louis Walsh’s in Ireland and finally Cheryl’s in Hollywood!

This is great for contestants as they will get to visit America and join Cheryl as she is recording her album so will be at her most creative. As the level of the show suggests, “Judges’ Houses” should be with Cheryl at her home. Previously when Cheryl was asked if she would move to America said not unless there was a place for her on the American X Factor judging panel. Although this looks unlikely Cheryl didn’t say she didn’t want to live there just that she would need work there first.

If X Factor odds are to be believed and Cheryl was to be offered a spot on American X factor now, at this stage in her career she is currently trying to break into the US market so would not be as well received as in the UK. Cheryl earlier this year has accompanied American hit group Black Eyed Peas on their recent tour, she also has been photographed with front man Will I Am and said to have been working closely with him on her new album. Is this a tactic from Cheryl to win over America?

For the benefit of those who bet on X Factor UK and all Cheryl’s loyal UK fans that flying the contestants over to LA is simply for convenience while she records her album and not a message to the world that this is where she wants her home to be!
