The tabloids (i.e. the Daily Mail) will go bonkers over this one.
Cheryl Cole has joked on Twitter about her brief appearance on The X Factor USA, after emerging victorious in a Best Judge poll.
Virgin Media carried out the survey, which saw Cole pip Simon Cowell by less than half a percent.
She amassed 16.52% of the vote while her former boss mustered 16.08%. Strictly’s Bruno Tonioli came third with 12.66%.
The ‘Fight For This Love’ hitmaker said on the micro-blogging site: “‘Oh my!’ And all in a couple days work, LOVE this @SimonCowell”
Chez appeared in two episodes of the American version of the talent hunt, before being replaced by Nicole Scherzinger, who was a major flop with viewers and critics.
The Top 12 in full was as follows:
1. Cheryl Cole – 16.52%
2. Simon Cowell – 16.08%
3. Bruno Tonioli – 12.66%
4. Gary Barlow – 12.23%
5. Tulisa Contostavlos – 10.45%
