Simon Cowell 'in talks to reinstate Cheryl Cole'

[The Dragon Master]

Simon Cowell is in talks with US X Factor producers to get Cheryl Cole reinstated as a judge, his publicist has told the BBC News website.



Max Clifford said discussions were going on at the highest level between Cowell, FremantleMedia and Fox TV.



Simon's position is clear - he wants her to be on the show if that's possible, Clifford said.



It was reported last week Cole had been dropped from the US show, although it was not officially confirmed.



The reason Simon hasn't said anything is because he has been working to try and make sure she is on the show, Clifford said.



But obviously there's other important people involved in this decision in America and they've all got to be happy.



Hopefully the situation will be clarified as soon as possible, because it's been as clear as mud for the last week - but talking to him a couple of hours ago, I think that's a pretty fair summary of where we are, he added.



The News of the World reported on Sunday that Cole would be returning to the US judging panel later this week.



However a spokesman for the singer told the BBC he had no comment to make on the claim.

I don't think it will happen. All of the publicity around the issue of her being kicked off of the show in the first place is probably what has sparked this and I don't think Cheryl will even consider going back to the show after the way she was treated by Simon Cowell and the show producers.
