"Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell have been reunited for the first time following confirmation of her X Factor return.  The &amp;#039;Promise This&amp;#039; singer appeared with &amp;#039;frenemy&amp;#039;, boss and co-judge Simon Cowell at The Arts Club in central London this afternoon after Cole announced her participation on Instagram last night (March 10). Cole was surrounded by paparazzi and press as she emerged from her car sporting shades and a new blonde hairstyle. Cowell, meanwhile, was joined at the event by girlfriend Lauren Silverman, the mother of his newborn son Eric. Cowell and Cole left the X Factor together in 2010 to judge the first season of its now-cancelled US counterpart, but famously fell out when she was axed after a matter of weeks.   Speaking about her return last night, Cole said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m very happy and excited to be returning to The X Factor. I&amp;#039;m inspired and ready to find new talent and potential popstars. It&amp;#039;s going to be a fun series. Cowell added: &amp;quot;I am so happy that Cheryl has agreed to join The X Factor again. &amp;quot;The last time we worked together in the UK was incredible and produced some really successful artists. Obviously the plan is to do the same again... so it&amp;#039;s back to work!&amp;quot; Remember to also voice your opinion on Cheryl&amp;#039;s X Factor return in our exclusive poll and see whether you agree with Digital Spy&amp;#039;s arguments for and against her rejoining the panel.
