Cheryl Cole will return to 'X Factor' only if she is sole female judge

Cheryl Cole will return to 'X Factor' only under one condition, if she is the only female on the panel, it has been revealed.

The former 'X Factor' judge Cheryl Cole has allegedly told ITV bosses that she will only reprise her role on the judging panel alongside Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and a still unconfirmed fourth mentor if she is the sole women, the Mirror reported.

A source told the publication that while the bosses are still finalising the other details, Cole has made it clear she didn't want to be pitched against another female again.
