Overview
CHERYL COLE has reportedly turned down a multi-million pound offer to replace Paula Abdul on American Idol.
The Girls Aloud star, who took over from Sharon Osbourne on The X Factor in the UK, was reportedly offered the Idol job by Simon Cowell.
But Cole, who is currently in Los Angeles, decided against the move because she wants to stay in Britain with her soccer star husband, Ashley Cole.
Speaking to the Daily Express, a friend said: Cheryl hasn't had any TV meetings since she's been over there. It would mean she would have to leave Britain.
"She wouldn't leave Ashley behind. She's there to work on her new album. She only wants to focus on her music."
Abdul's future on American Idol was thrown into doubt last week when her manager, David Sonenberg, said it was unlikely she will return for Idol's 2010 run.
