CHERYL Cole has put the final nail into any speculation she will be returning to the X Factor judging panel this year.

Simon Cowell has said he would love to have her back and Louis Walsh hinted she may return.

But today the Girls Aloud star, 28, took to her Twitter page to say: “X factor was a great experience and time in my life and career but is now part of my past .. Please #letsmoveonnow #newnewspls Zzzzz *yawns*.”
