Less than a month ago Cheryl Cole was celebrating landing one of the biggest jobs in the world: a spot on the judging panel for The X Factor USA.
Today (May 26) it looks like the Girls Aloud singer will be returning to the UK sooner than planned after reportedly being dropped by American TV bosses.
As reports vary on why – from her Northern accent to homesickness – Gigwise has charted Cole's brief fling with America in pictures.
