Just days after her replacement was officially named for the U.S. version of "X Factor," Cheryl Cole has been tapped to host the U.K. version of "The Voice."
Rumors of the possible new gig for the "Girls Aloud" singer now have U.K. networks ITV and the BBC fighting to play host for the super-successful singing competition.
A source close to the situation told The Sun newspaper, "The hype around 'The Voice' is now so great that ITV feels it has no choice but to be in the running for it. If the BBC got it - and managed to sign Cheryl - then it could snare loads of viewers away from 'The X Factor.'"
Meanwhile, "X Factor" creator, Simon Cowell finally spoke out about Cheryl's departure from the show, telling press, "I'm sorry. I hope we're still close friends. She's still a star."
Cowell added, "The hardest thing to accept is that everyone has painted me as a monster because I embarrassed her. But the truth is I was protecting her. I just want people to be in the right place at the right time. This was never personal or saying 'you were terrible.' "
