The staffing on the upcoming US and UK versions of X Factor seem to have caused more controversy than Gamu-gate… The latest news is that Cheryl Cole has not got the job in America, whilst Konnie Huq has been axed from the UK Xtra Factor show.
According to The Sun, Aaron Nelson, who is the stepfather of Chezza's rumoured boyfriend Derek Hough, let the news slip, saying:
"She didn't get the X Factor job. Our heart goes out to her.
"Showbiz is always competitive, everyone wants to do well. It's so tough for her."
Meanwhile, Konnie has apparently been dropped as the host of the Xtra Factor, with The Sun claiming I'm A Celeb... Get Me Out Of Here Now! host Caroline Flack is at the top of Simon Cowell's list of potential replacements.
Talking to the paper about Flack, an insider said:
"Cowell was impressed with her screen test."
Good choice? What do you reckon?
