The 29-year-old singer has ignited rumours she could be returning the the UK version of the show after she was spotted arriving at Simon Cowell's Los Angeles mansion on Wednesday night where she spent three-and-a-half hours.

WENN/ITV With Simon Cowell willing to pull out all the stops for next year's X Factor, the media mogul is already reportedly lining up the return of Cheryl Cole in a bid to boost ratings and has now apparently been 'holding secret talks' with her and is 'willing to offer any price'. According to The Sun , Simon had a secret meet up with the 'Call My Name' star at his Beverly Hills mansion and is reportedly determined to axe Tulisa to make way for the former judge. Friendship between the showbiz pair has previously been questionable, after Chezza was left humiliated last year after Cowell gave her place on the US panel to former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, who has since moved to the UK show. However, with viewers declining, Simon now apparently sees her as the 'saviour' to the British show, which has lost a whopping 3 million viewers this year. One Saturday night live programme saw ratings plummet to just 7.6million compared to the 19.4million...

What have X-Factor judge Tulisa, royal Kate Middleton and Girl's Aloud member Cheryl Cole all got in common? No, not that. They all top the list of most searched for people on Bing UK in 2012. Last year, Americans Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga held top honours, but they've been ousted by a Brit trio of brunettes. There's five British names in the top ten in total, with Tulisa, Cole and Middleton joined by the latter's husband, Prince Harry, and, er, Jimmy Savile. In terms of the most searched for sports stars, none make the main list, but the top ten of their particular category is almost entirely - and unsurprisingly - made up of Olympians. Victoria Pendleton beats Usain Bolt to the number one spot, while last year's most popular honouree, David Beckham, plummets to ninth. Mo Farah, who is fronting his own dance craze, Do the Mobot, in order to raise money for underprivileged people living in the Horn of Africa, appears in tenth. While Fabrice Muamba,...
