Cheryl is officially back on the X Factor.
The pop princess has returned to the ITV talent show to help out old pal - and former boss - Simon Cowell.

She's set to make an appearance at the judges' houses stage of the competition, where she'll help Simon choose which three of his acts to take through to the live finals.
The 34-year-old, who welcomed her first child in March, a son named Bear with boyfriend Liam Payne, looks as stunning as ever.

She flashes just a smidge of her toned tummy in a black crop top, that she paired with a pair of high-waisted trousers with gold button detailing.
Her long brunette locks hang in loose curls down her back and she's accessorised with some bold statement jewellery.
Simon is wearing his signature jeans and white shirt that's unbuttoned down to his pecs.
Rumours of Cheryl's return to X Factor have been swirling for months - and on Friday, a picture appeared to confirm it.
It showed a brunette beauty sitting in the chair having her hair and make-up done, getting glammed up and camera-ready.
It was shared on Instagram by Cheryl's hair stylist Daya Ruci, and fans thought they knew exactly who it is.

And another wrote: "She’s so so stunning! And her hair is gorgeous"

Cheryl knows all about this stage of the competition, being tasked with thinning the herd herself when she was a judge on the ITV talent show .
The Fight For This Love singer, 34, is joining Simon, 57, at the Chateau Diter, just outside Cannes.
