X Factor: Simon Cowell wants Cheryl Cole and Nicole Scherzinger over Tulisa in his dream line up

It's reported that Simon Cowell wants Cheryl Cole and Nicole Scherzinger on the X Factor judging panel...but not Tulisa.

An X Factor snitch has dished all the dirt to the Sunday Mirror revealing just who would be in Simon's 'dream team' for the show.

The source says: "Simon sees Cheryl and Nicole as the dream team."

"He believes those two women on the show would pull in viewers and make it so much more appealing than the current series."

And it's believed Simon is already thinking of how he could convince Cheryl to return to the show:

"He knows Cheryl won't be cheap but more importantly he knows he needs to offer her the right role."

"He doesn't expect it to be easy but Simon likes a challenge."

And we would hate to see what he does if he doesn't get his own way.

But we kind of hope he does, because just how amazing would that line up be? It's not just Simon's 'dream team': it's ours!

X Factor just isn't the same without Ms Cole and we do sometimes forget just how fab she was.

However, we doubt Cheryl will ever come back to the judging panel after what happened when Simon signed her up for the US show only to sack her half way through the auditions.

And plus, Nicole was the exact person who nicked Cheryl's job over in the US so we doubt she would ideally want to be sat next to her in the future.

Still, it's worth an ask we suppose.
