While the majority of tabloid’s tittle tattle is taken up with guess work about Cheryl Cole’s next career move (our guess is the US won’t understand a Geordie X-Factor judge, sorry), it looks like her next job could be here in the UK.

According to The Daily Star (pinch of salt please), our Cheryl has been offered a tasty £5m to host Channel 5’s soon to launch reality show Big Brother. The newspaper have also included a quote from a nameless source, if that helps; ‘It really is true. Big Brother looks certain to return - bigger, brighter and more shocking than ever before. As part of that deal we want to get a really big name involved as the host and they don't come any bigger than Cheryl.’

Adding; ‘We're confident she can be tempted away from Simon with the offer of fronting the most-talked about show of the year. There is going to be a real buzz around Big Brother and we're confident she will want to be part of that deal.’

The judges for the US version of The X-Factor are due to be announced in April.
