Cheryl Cole is reportedly meeting up with her ex-boss Simon Cowell now that the dust has settled on all that X Factor USA silliness.We know that their frosty relationship following her axing from the show has begun to thaw with Cheryl's attempts at banter on Twitter, but she's now ready to see Simon face-to-face to discuss working together again.
Although the pair have spoken, it will be the first time they've met in person since Simon dumped her from the show five months ago.
"It had been pretty frosty for a while but Cheryl has mellowed and they've turned a corner," a source told The Sun.
"Simon has always wanted to remain friends with her but it's understandable how she needed time to calm down. Now they're on talking terms and banter is in full swing, they're discussing a meet, which is likely to be in LA."
Cheryl flew out to the States earlier his week sporting a peculiar pair of X Factor style trousers.
However, she took to Twitter to dismiss claims they were to a message to say she'd be rejoining the talent show.
"Promise I am not trying to send out subliminal msgs to anybody through my jeans.. They just looked cool to me.. But since you mention it.."
She then tweeted an impression of The X Factor theme tune.
What can this possibly all mean? Will she return to a version of the show?
Although viewing figures on the UK version are down on last year, the show seems to be doing ok without her. However, the US version has not exactly set ratings alight.
And given Cheryl's rave reviews for her short appearance on the US show, perhaps we'll see her make a return there?
