Cheryl's not so triumphant return to XFactor

Cheryl Cole has finally made her much-anticipated return to X Factor filming (amidst news that she will abandon the show next year for the US version). However, things aren't running quite as smoothly as Cheryl would have wished. The "judge's house" that Chezza has been assigned, in glamorous Berkshire, turned out to be a building site with builders dropping scaffolding and cleaners vacuuming to interrupt filming of the hopefuls' first auditions with their potential mentor.
Turns out that isn't the only thing to go against Cheryl. As Celebritree reported, she was keen to recruit Derek as her no.2 to help with the auditions, but seems she has been over-ruled by the X-Factor bosses, who say he just isn't a big enough star, so Will.i.am has been drafted in instead. Celebritree really isn't sure how Derek would have managed his Dancing with the Stars training and X Factor mentor support at the same time anyway.
Still, at least all these difficulties mean that Cheryl dominates the press and keeps fellow returning judge, Dannii out of the headlines.
