Bem e após tanta confusão eis que os executivos da Fox finalmente falam sobre a situação de Cheryl Cole no X-Factor. Numa declaração oficial da Fox, Fremantle Media e SyCo Nicole Scherzinger foi confirmada como a substituta de Cheryl Cole no painél de jurados do X-Factor americano. Scherzinger deixa assim de ser co-apresentadora para executar o papel de júri juntamente com Simon Cowell, LA Reid e Paula Abdul. Steve Jones será então o único apresentador do programa. Enfim, ao menos é oficial e já se pode acabar com os rumores.

And after so much mess around Cheryl Cole and the US X-Factor, whether she was out or not we have an official statement!! Fox, Freemantle Media and SyCo finally spoked about Cheryl Cole and confirmed on an official statement that Nicole Scherzinger will replace her as a judge:
Nicole Scherzinger will be replacing Cheryl Cole on the judging panel of The X Factor. Nicole will join Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and Paula Abdul on their search across America to find the next global superstar or group to win the life-changing $5 million dollar recording deal. Nicole has previously joined Simon Cowell as a guest judge on The X Factor for the UK version of the show in 2010. Steve Jones will act as sole host of The X Factor.
