Cheryl Cole will reportedly leave The X Factor after the next series airs later this year.
According to the Daily Mail, the judge wants time out from the ITV1 contest to start a family with husband Ashley Cole, in 2011.

An insider closer to the ‘Fight For This Love’ star revealed: “Cheryl has made it clear that she wants to have a baby sooner rather than later.
“This is something she knows she has to plan. She will be 27 in June and she really wants to start a family with Ashley.”
The Fight For This Love singer, who is also the face of L’Oreal, plans to sign up to a £1.5million X Factor deal that will take her up until the series, due to launch in August, ends in December, the Daily Mail has learned.

However, then she wants to bow out to have a baby – and is even prepared to turn down Simon Cowell’s bid to get her on board for the new U.S. version of the TV talent contest.
‘Cheryl has made it clear that she wants to have a baby sooner rather than later,’ a source close to the 26-year-old brunette revealed.
‘This is something she knows she has to plan. She will be 27 in June and she really wants to start a family with Ashley.’
Despite this, Cowell is still keen to get Mrs Cole on board as a judge for his American version of the X Factor, which will launch in the U.S. in autumn next year.

Cowell, 50 – who recently regained the rights to his hit TV formats, including the X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, in a deal with Sony – admitted: ‘She’d be great over here – Cheryl’s a star.’
