Cheryl Cole doesn't need 'The X Factor': Arlene Phillips

Talent scout Arlene Phillips says Cheryl Cole doesn't need the US version of The X Factor as the singer is capable of doing well even without her role on the series.

Cole was axed from the US version of the The X Factor show last month. However Phillips, who also judged British television show Strictly Come Dancing believes that the 27-year-old will be able to do well provided she follows her lead and gets over it quickly.

"That initial bruise - that moment you hear - never goes away, you will remember that. What you have to do is put that aside, put it in a little box, tie it up with a ribbon and leave it there because otherwise that little sting will keep coming back. Just move on,” Femalefirst.co.uk quoted the 68-year-old as saying.

"Cheryl is loved here, she has the world at her feet. She doesn't need X Factor USA,” she added.
