Cheryl Cole: 'I'm not qualified to be talent judge'

15 March 2007

GIRLS ALOUD star CHERYL COLE withdrew from her role as judge on TV talent search BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT last month, because she "isn't qualified" to pass judgement on fame-seeking wannabes.

The LOVE MACHINE singer, who found fame on British reality TV show POPSTARS: THE RIVALS, admits she would be too nice to the contestants - as she has faced the acid-tongued remarks of SIMON COWELL first hand.

She says, "I wouldn't become a judge, I don't think I would be qualified. Who am I to judge other people? I know people think I am fiery but I think I'd be too diplomatic".

"I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of the criticism. I love Simon Cowell though, I think he has a good heart - he really is a pussy cat."
