Cheryl Cole will appear in US X Factor scenes

Singer Cheryl Cole will appear in scenes in the US X Factor despite her exit from the show.

The 28-year-old helped judge some of the contestants on the early episodes of the US show before she was fired and returned home to the UK.

However executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz said she was set to return to the UK version of the show.

According to UK newspaper Daily Express, she said: "After Simon Cowell's departure, they had to recast the British show."

She also spoke about how Cole's exit will be shown on screen, she said: "We're going to air the shows as they happened. Cheryl was with us for two cities and when we air those cities, she'll be in the scenes.

"There's not a big explanation. Sometimes you have guest judges and they're there for a couple of cities. You don't dwell on the judges. It's about the talent; it's about the auditions; it's about the contestants."
