After contracting malaria a few months ago, Cheryl Cole is back on the road to recovery, which means that we'll be seeing the Fight For This Love singer back on the X Factor soon.

Or will we? Because it has been reported that Cheryl is worried about the effects of going back onto the X Factor, could have on her health.

So much so that it made Chez break down in tears whilst talking to Simon Cowell.

New! reported Cheryl as saying: “I'm worried that going back to the X Factor is going to make me ill again....I can't miss the show. I know people are just waiting for me to fail and I'm not having that. But some times I feel under such pressure that It stresses me out.”

As much as Cheryl wants to get back into the hot seat, her friends think it's a bad idea.

One friend was quoted saying: “She is in a very fragile stage right now and would be foolish to rush back to the hot seat. When Simon confronted her about her plans for an early reunion, all the emotion and tears came flooding out. She told Simon she is under such stress and strain that she can't sleep properly.”

We can't wait to see Cheryl again, whenever that may be.
