Pop singer Cheryl Cole is reportedly planning to quit her job as a judge on 'The X Factor' after the current series.
According to the News of the World, Cole is planning to move to the US permanently and is rumoured to be in talks for the US version of the talent show.
A source said: "This is Cheryl Cole phase two. She's not changing her name but she's changing every other aspect of her life."
"She wouldn't have the time to do both of the 'X Factors' plus release new songs - and she's got her heart set on America where Derek [Hough] lives."
"[Simon Cowell] believes she will be a huge star in the States. The US show is a huge opportunity but she'd have to give up the show here because she wouldn't be able to do her music too."
"In Britain, her priority is music and it always will be. She's primarily a music star and she feels three years on 'The X Factor' will be enough."
"Plus, everything's going to be shaken up in the next series so this is the perfect time for her to bow out."
"ITV will do everything they can to keep her but she doesn't need the money. She only really did this series because of her close friendship with Simon."
