Cheryl Cole will reportedly front the US version of The X Factor.
Simon Cowell is planning on taking the successful ITV show to the States and he wants Cheryl to have a starring role, reports the Daily Mirror.
A source told the paper: "He thinks she has amazing presence and her down-to-earth Northern charm will appeal to the American public. She is also an incredibly beautiful girl.
"She won't get paid anything like the million pound salary she's on here, because obviously she is not as well known in the States. But if it is a success, like most of Simon's shows are, it could catapult her into the big league."
It is believed that Simon himself will not appear on the series due to his American Idol deal with rival network Fox.
Senior executives from NBC, who are working on the US version of The X Factor, are said to be flying in to Manchester this weekend to watch Cheryl at work on the UK show.
Do you think Cheryl has what it takes to make it in the US? Will American viewers be able to understand her accent? Let us know what you think...
