Cheryl Cole has won loads of lovely cash after being ditched from the X Factor USA

  • November 28, 2013

cherylcoleCheryl Cole has received a large payout after trying to sue the producers of The X Factor USA.

According to BBC News, the 'Don't Talk About This Love' songstrel reached an out-of-court set­tle­ment with the producers after suing them for £1.4m for loss of earnings.

Legal papers show that Cheryl was due to be paid £2.3m for two series of The X Factor USA, as well as a £61,000 wardrobe budget, £9,200 per month for accom­mod­a­tion in LA and a £1,530-per-month 'living allowance'.

Bloody hell.

Cheryl was axed from the first season (series) of The X Factor after just one episode, reportedly due to audiences not being able to under­stand her accent.

It was all a complete mess to be honest but at least she's got some cash out of it.
