Cheryl Cole has finally been confirmed as a US X Factor judge

Cheryl Cole has finally been confirmed as one of the judges on the US version of The X Factor.

The news was confirmed by SyCo and her PR company Supersonic via Twitter, while The Sun are quoting Cole as saying she's "so excited" and that America will love her rivalry with Simon Cowell.

"I just can't decide whether I am more excited to find and nurture the talent or for the unbe­liev­able amount of amusement and enter­tain­ment I will have watching Simon doing everything and anything he can to beat me," she said.

Cowell has also released a statement saying he is thrilled for Cheryl, going on to call her "a complete brat" who can "spot talent". Charming.
