Cheryl Cole 'Has No Plans To Conquer American TV'

Cheryl Cole has no plans to launch a television career in America, according to reports.

The X Factor judge had been linked to a similar role on American Idol amid speculation that current judge Paula Abdul is to leave the show.

However, a source told The Metro that Cole, who is currently in Los Angeles recording her debut solo album, was only interested in music.

Cheryl Cole arrives at a recording studio in Los Angeles.

The Girls Aloud star is also said to be reluctant to leave her husband, Ashley Cole, behind in Britain.

“Cheryl hasn't had any TV meetings since she's been over there. There have never been plans for her to go on US TV,” the source said.

“It would mean she would have to leave Britain, which she won't do because it's her home. She wouldn't leave Ashley behind.

'She's only over there to work on her new solo album in the studio. She only wants to focus on her music. That's what she is  - a singer.”
