She was a guest judge in 2010 & Katy Perry has continued to be a friend of the programme since, performing on numerous live shows, but what will Simon Cowell make of her campaign to bring back Cheryl Cole?
Speaking to uk.omg.yahoo.com, the international superstar said: "Of course I want to see Cheryl back on 'The X Factor'! Who doesn't, right? Simon, don't be mean - just pay her what it takes! The British public wants her back on their TV!".
Katy continued: "Cheryl is absolutely adorable & if I perform on 'The X Factor' next season & Cheryl isn't one of the judges, then Simon, you are going to have me to answer to."
Katy's right. Cheryl has been missed, since she 'left' the programme in 2010 to judge the US version, but we all know how that turned out. During her time on 'The X Factor', Cheryl's career soared to new heights, making her one of the most talked-about people in the country & achieving massive record sales at the same time. She also helped the programme, as Cheryl, Simon & the rest of the dream team, took to the programme to new heights, with over 20 million people tuning in to watch the finals.
