Will.i.am: "Cheryl Cole Won't Do The X Factor Again"

Will.i.am says Cheryl Cole will never rejoin The X Factor as a judge and deserves to have her own TV show instead. 

The 'Heartbreaker' rapper, who has worked with the '3 Words' singer on several occasions and helps manage her solo career, claims she doesn't need the music reality series to be a success.

"Cheryl won't do X Factor," will.i.am told the Daily Mirror this week. "Why does she need it? Why are you going to make someone else rich? Cheryl needs her own show. 

"Cheryl Cole was current on X Factor, " he said, regarding the 'Parachute' singer's short-lived stint on The X Factor US. "She was the only one on the panel with musical experience of what it feels like to go through that process."

The 'T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)' rapper's comment come just days after Simon Cowell was quoted saying Cheryl could "100 per cent" be a panellist on the show again.
