Simon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger have appeared as guests on Piers Morgan’s CNN Chat show. Both had to be asked about Cheryl Cole leaving the show.
Simon said:
“‘I was talking to someone about this at the screening the other night and they put it very well – she looked a bit bewildered. Not everyone’s like you Piers. You come to a country like America, it’s a bit deal, takes a while to adjust.
And I took the view, along with a few other people, that she would have been more comfortable back in the UK.’
Because it was public, of course. I think if she’d taken the UK gig, nobody would be feeling bad right now, because they’re both big shows and hopefully this one will be as big as the UK show. But that’s what you have to do when you produce, you have to make decisions in the moment and I take full responsibility for it.”

Nicole’s response:
“Actually, the judges and the host, the schedule is gruelling and we’re in two different areas so I didn’t actually get to work with her that much. Obviously I think she’s a gorgeous girl who is very charming but for me it was an honour, I’m not going to lie, I cried when Simon told me because I felt like no matter where he had me on the show, I was going to be of service and do the best I could.”
