Cheryl will make a return to The X Factor tonight in a bid to tell Simon Cowell "what's cool".

The singer and former X Factor judge, 34, will touch-down in a helicopter on the French Riveria.

She helps Cowell, 58, whittle down the groups in the exotic location.

The new mum and former Girls Aloud singer tells the nervous singers: "Just have the time of your life. Use your opportunity...

"I'm not here to judge you, just to tell Simon what's cool or not these days, that's all."

The groups, including The Cutkelvins, Lemonade and Rak-Su, do their best to impress Simon and Cheryl, while Louis Walsh and his guest judge, singer Mika, whittle down the boys for a place in the live shows.
