Simon Cowell's new X Factor offer to Cheryl Cole

After Cheryl Cole was sacked from the US X Factor and turned down the chance to 
go back to her old role in the UK, we figured her X Factor 
days were well and truly over.
Now, however, we can reveal that Simon Cowell's offered Cheryl a chance to perform on the US X Factor and even be a special guest mentor - and she's seriously tempted.
The star, who's already recorded a segment for the US X Factor to explain why she left the show, knows it'd be 
a huge opportunity for her to crack the States.
‘She and Simon have hardly spoken since she was let go from the show,' says a friend.
‘But just before Cheryl flew out to the US for filming on What To Expect When You're Expecting, she called Simon in an emotional state.
'She told him she's forgiven him for what happened and wants to put it all behind them and move on.'
So, shortly after Cheryl arrived in the US, Simon, 51, called her with an offer to perform her debut US single on one of the live shows, in addition to mentoring the contestants alongside him 
for a week.
The fact that Cheryl's even considering his proposal is an indication their relationship's finally back on track.
