Cheryl Cole may be forced to film the ‘judges houses’ segment of the X Factor in Britain – as she could still be too poorly to travel.

The judges – Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Cheryl and Dannii Minogue – normally jet away to somewhere exotic to whittle down their finalists.

However, as the fragile star continues to recover at home after battling Malaria, it has become clear that producers may have to amend their plans.

A show source told the Mail: ‘At this stage we are looking at different ways to make things as easy as possible for Cheryl.’

Last year, Mrs Cole, 27, who mentored the boys, whittled down her finalists in in Marrakech, Morocco, with the help of Will Young.

A source close to Mrs Cole added: ‘No decision has been made yet about judges homes. It’s still some way off so we will see closer to the time.’

New mum Minogue, who gave birth to son Ethan earlier this month, is expecting to rejoin the show for the judges house at the end of August following her maternity leave.

Last week, Cowell, 50, admitted that the petite brunette was keen to return to work.

She missed the final X Factor auditions in Manchester – and will miss the boot camp auditions this week.

But Cowell said: ‘I think she is keen to get back to work. I just want to make sure she doesn’t rush back too early.

‘We’re going to have a conversation about that.’

Cheryl Cole is making good progress but following medical advice she will not be able to take part in X Factor’s boot camp stage or perform at V

Cheryl Cole has been forced to cancel a weeks work, including the Manchester X Factor auditions later this week, after falling ill over the weekend.

A source told The Sun, Cheryl appeared pale, gaunt and was sweating whilst having her makeup done for an album cover shoot. She then collapsed with exhaustion at the studio in London.

A doctor was rushed to the scene and ordered complete rest for a minimum of 7 days. It appears Cheryl has a vicious gastroenteritis bug.

Earlier this morning, Cheryl’s PR Company ‘SupersonicPR’ tweeted this statment on twitter:

Following doctor’s advice Cheryl Cole will be canceling all work commitments for the next week

This is very likely to include all 3 Machester audition dates. Cheryl has reportedly been working 18hrs days since announcing her divorce to Ashley Cole.

All of us at GirlsAloudMedia hope that Cheryl has a long deserving rest, and wishes her a speedy recovery. Manchester auditions will not be the same without you!

Cheryl Cole was battling a birthday hangover in Cardiff last night when she arrived for the latest round of X Factor auditions.

The Girls Aloud star and show judge arrived in the Welsh capital looking fragile and wrapped up in a hoodie rather than her usual stylish self – and Simon Cowell immediately spotted the singer was under the weather and decided to tease her for the rest of the day.

Cheryl’s actual birthday was on Wednesday when she hit 27, but she’s been celebrating all week.

Cowell, 50, spent the whole day baiting and winding Cheryl up as she fought off her headache and tiredness, not helped by some serious caterwauling from the X Factor wannabes.

Simon embarrassed her as he winked and told the audience: ‘Cheryl’s rather I’ll today. She might get a bit sulky and tired if you’re not nice to her. She’s got the disease going around called “hangover”. You need to be gentle – she doesn’t want too much noise”.

Cheryl hit back good-naturedly: “I may be a little hungover but I have a good excuse because my birthday was two days ago.”

She likes to keep us guessing with her outfit choices for the X Factor auditions.

And yesterday, Cheryl Cole went for a relatively simple look in a low-key khaki playsuit, which she teamed with black Christian Louboutin heels and a black cinch belt.

The singer, who turns 27 tomorrow, added extra glam with the help of some long gold earrings.

But then she knew she had to make an extra effort with Katy Perry as a guest judge on the panel.

Katy, predictably, opted for all-out glamour in a pale blue sequinned number.

The 25-year-old American is the latest in a string of guest judges adding a bit of oomph to proceedings in the absence of Dannii Minogue, who is on maternity leave.

Cheryl Cole will have had more than just 3 Words for her fellow X Factor judges – after they both had a pop at her during auditions.
Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh ganged up on the Girls Aloud beauty, slating her band and her solo performances.

The spat began when a raunchy girl group, called Madame Butterfly, came on stage at London’s ExCel centre during Wednesday’s trials. Simon sniped to them that they must not take inspiration from British groups, like Girls Aloud. And he asked the foursome who they were influenced by, saying: “I bet you only like American groups, like Destiny’s Child.”

Stony-faced Cheryl stayed quiet. One of the singers eventually said they liked Girls Aloud too.

Then to add to the frosty atmosphere, Louis took his own swipe at the 26-year-old when a Romanian male model performed her single Fight For This Love from her 3 Words solo album. Beefy Adrian had the audience in hysterics as he pranced around the stage warbling an out-of-tune, cringe-worthy version of her hit.

Afterwards, Cheryl laughed that he had made a “great song choice”. But Louis wiped the smile off her face, quipping: “That was about as good as you can do it live.” Cheryl didn’t retaliate but looked furious as he and Simon sniggered.

SEXY Cheryl Cole has shown her cheating husband the red card by finally ditching her married name.

The stunning babe proved she has moved on from love rat Ashley, 29, by using her maiden name Tweedy at yesterday’s X Factor auditions.

Fellow judge Simon Cowell, 50, helped her rub salt in the pining England star’s wounds by joking about the change with the 2,500 crowd as they filmed at London’s ExCel centre.

After chatting to fans he teased: “Who would like to hear from Cheryl… TWEEDY. It is, now, isn’t it?”

The delighted audience erupted to give the 26-year-old Girls Aloud singer a standing ovation for cutting off her last tie with serial cheat Ashley, who played yesterday in England’s 1-0 World Cup win over Slovenia to reach the last 16.

Cheryl-mad Kate Gibbs, 21, said: “The support for her was immense. When Simon announced her as Cheryl Tweedy the whole place went up.

“Cheryl was beaming. It was as if a new chapter in her life had just started and she looked happier than ever.”

It is the first time the sexpot – now dating US hunk Derek Hough, 25 – has publicly reverted to her maiden name.

The breakthrough came just days after she enjoyed a romantic getaway with the dancer while her ex slogged away for England in South Africa.

She is also said to be considering treatment to get her “Mrs C” tattoo taken off the back of her neck.

A source said: “Ashley is old news and this is yet more prove that Cheryl has moved on. He must be gutted.”

On last year’s X Factor, Cheryl Cole experimented with a variety of looks in a style battle with fellow judge Dannii Minogue.

But as she arrived via helicopter to the latest round of auditions in London today, Cole found fashion inspiration from an unlikely source – Tom Cruise in Top Gun.

Perhaps in a bid to channel aviator-style as she enjoyed the helicopter flight, the 26-year-old looked ready to join the Air Force in her leather jacket and a pair of aviator shades.

Her black and white ensemble was a far cry from the more feminine outfit she sported at the auditions earlier this week, which saw her team an orange shift dress with the same pair of Christian Louboutin dogtooth heels.

Today marks their third or four days at the London auditions, before heading to Dublin next week, before Cardiff on 2 July and Manchester from 9-11 July.
