Cheryl Cole is said to be ready to give up her place on The X Factor judging panel

Cheryl Cole is reportedly planning to leave the UK The X Factor at the end of this series to start a new life in LA with dancer Derek Hough.

Bruno Tonioli believes Cheryl has already given Derek the boot, but other pals reckon she's keen to hook up with him as soon as possible.

The Girls Aloud star, 27, has just been granted the decree nisi in a quickie divorce from footballer Ashley Cole, 29, and wants to put unhappy memories behind her.

‘This is Cheryl Cole phase two,' sources say.

‘She's not changing her name but she's changing every other aspect of her life.'

Geordie Cheryl, 27, wants to join Simon Cowell on the judging panel of American X Factor and, with her growing solo career, this means the Girls Aloud star is unable to commit to the UK version of the show.

‘She wouldn't have the time to do both of the X Factors plus release new songs,' insiders tell the News Of The World.

‘She's got her heart set on America where Derek lives.'

Cheryl's planned move has fuelled speculation that The X Factor will not return to UK television next year.
