Cheryl Cole also out from the British "X Factor"

London, United Kingdom (AHN Entertainment) - In a span of a week, Cheryl Cole has lost both gigs in the U.S. and U.K. versions of "The X Factor." The British songstress, who has been fired from the upcoming FOX talent show even before it premiered in the States, has also been dropped from the U.K. show that she has been a part of since 2008.

It was a shock for the show's fans when Cole was dropped from the show in the U.S. Network bosses apparently thought that American viewers would have a hard time understanding Cole's thick accent.

Cole had been part of the auditions in Los Angeles and Chicago for about three weeks when she was fired.

Reports claim that the 27-year-old former Girls Aloud singer was so furious over her sacking that she refused to return calls from Simon Cowell, the creator of both shows, to return to the U.K. version of the talent program.

And now, the official judging panel of the U.K. show has been released, and Cole's name is nowhere to be found. She was allegedly given an offer by the British show, but because she was still hurt and angry, she refused to answer their calls.

Music exec Louis Walsh will be joined by new judges in the panel, namely boyband member Gary Barlow, R&B artist Tulisa Contostavlos, and America's own Kelly Rowland.

Cowell said of the new panel, "These four are totally up for it, each of them brings a different attitude. They have had a ton of hits between them and they are all committed to finding a star."

"I have a feeling Louis and Tulisa will have slightly different points of view as to what the next star should look and sound like."
