Cheryl Cole’s Geordie accent could jeopardize her plans to crack America.
The Girls Aloud singer has been lined up by Simon Cowell to front a US version of his UK TV talent show X Factor.
But American TV chiefs can’t understand her!
“They were bowled over by Cheryl and thought she was sassy, smart, charismatic and beautiful,” a source told the UK’s Daily Mirror newspaper.
“There was just one small problem — they couldn’t make head nor tail of her Geordie accent.
“She was at her best at the weekend — witty, empathetic and really encouraging to some of the acts.
“But while her accent isn’t that thick, the Americans really seemed to struggle with it.
“Simon jokingly offered to pay for elocution lessons for her but, seriously, that may be the route she has to take if she is really considering breaking into television over there.”
