Is Cheryl returning to The X Factor AGAIN?

Cheryl has been so loved up with Liam Payne over the past few months we're starting to think they're becoming the new Posh and Becks. From their little family, to their rare Instagram posts, we love the happy couple, and there's even more happiness in store: Chezza might be returning to judge the X Factor contestants.

Throwback to a few years ago to when Chezza was sacked from The X Factor US and she sent Simon a text saying: "F_ck you, F_ck Fox, F*ck the orange and purple outfit.

"F_ck the big hair. F_ck the UK X Factor. F*ck you all. I hate you."

Charming. But then last year she joined the show again so all must have been forgiven.

Righttttttt.

She then quit after returning to the show for one year because she missed making music and was excited to be recording again. Where's the album then, mate?

But now apparently Cheryl will return to the ITV show alongside Simon Cowell at the Judges' Houses stage.

Simon Cowell and ITV bosses are said to be keen to get Cheryl back on the show. A source told The Daily Star: "Cheryl would be the perfect person to help him [Simon] pick his finalists.

"Everyone knows how well Cheryl and Simon work together on and off screen."

They added: "Cheryl also has a proven track history mentoring the girls as a judge, she's still incredibly popular with fans and it would keep her within the X Factor family despite her quitting."

It would be good to see Cheryl return to the judges' houses, especially because Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger have all returned to the judging panel AND Dermot O'Leary is back presenting.

We're MEGA excited for the new series to start.

Even though Chezza might be returning to *The X Factor *we doubt Liam will be along for the trip after Simon threw MAJOR shade at the One Direction star.
