Simon Cowell: Sick Cheryl Cole is going crazy

Girls Aloud star bored out of her brain and ready return to The X Factor

Simon Cowell has been in regular contact with Cheryl Cole

Sick Cheryl Cole is desperate to return to The X Factor, according to Simon Cowell.

The Girls Aloud star has been off the ITV show ever since she contracted malaria while on holiday in Tanzania with dancer pal Derek Hough, 25, last month.

But Simon, 50, says Cheryl feels well enough to rejoin the judging panel.

'The worst is over,' he says. 'The texts are getting increasingly feisty so she's obviously on the mend.

'I've had a few texts from her over the last few days. Judging by the messages, she is really looking forward to going back to work.'

But Simon wants to make sure Cheryl, 27, is fully fit before she returns.

'Our job is to make sure she doesn't come back too quick,' he tells GMTV.

'She's bored out of her brain and going crazy.'
