Sources say that Cheryl Cole has not only been ousted as a judge from the American version of ‘X Factor’, but has also lost her job on the British version as well.

Cole reportedly as refused to take any calls or have meetings with the producers of the show. “Cheryl will not be returning to the British ‘X Factor,’” a source said. “She hasn’t returned phone calls. And you can’t exactly negotiate with someone who won’t even speak to you.”

Kelly Rowland from the former band, Destiny’s Child, has been named the replacement for Cole on the British version of the show as well as Tulisa Contostavlos, the hip hop singer from N-Dubz.

Just last week Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls will no longer co-host the show, instead taking Cole’s spot on the judges panel of the U.S. version of ‘X Factor’.

Sources say Cole had gained some weight after battling malaria last year and was asked to lose “as much as two stones” (or 28 pounds) before appearing in front of American audiences. There had been rumors that she was told to get rid of boyfriend, Derek Hough of ‘Dancing With the Stars’, to improve her image.
