Simon Cowell, last night broke his silence to explain why he killed off Cheryl Cole’s American dream.
The 51-year-old claimed he thought she would be happy to move back to the UK version of The X Factor but admitted he bottled out of telling her.
Instead, he sent X Factor’s executive producer Richard Holloway to deliver the bad news.
Cowell said: “The hardest thing to accept is that everyone has painted me as a monster because I embarrassed her, but the truth was I was protecting her. I just want people to be in the best place at the right time.”
Earlier, bosses confirmed that after failing to respond to their offer to come back, she had been officially replaced on the US panel by ex-Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger – who arrived for an interview in London for the Graham Norton Show.
Cheryl filmed just four episodes of the U.S. version of 'X Factor' last month
