Cole's dismissal from the American program reportedly came due to fears U.S. viewers couldn't understand her Newcastle, England accent. She will reportedly be replaced by Nicole Scherzinger as a judge stateside. Nicole was previously announced as a co-host for the show.
While many suspected she would return to the UK version of the show, when the judging line up was revealed on Monday, Cole was absent from list, according to The Sun newspaper.
