" Cheryl Cole wants to keep a &amp;quot;dignified silence&amp;quot; over her exit from The X Factor USA, it has been claimed. According to Heat, the singer has been paying close attention to the response of fans online before making her next decision. &amp;quot;Cheryl didn&amp;#039;t want to talk about what was happening,&amp;quot; a source told the magazine. &amp;quot;She wanted to keep a dignified silence. &amp;quot;Cheryl wanted to judge what people were saying about her. She wasn&amp;#039;t taking any calls from anyone except her mum, very close friends and [ex-husband] Ashley, who she&amp;#039;d sometimes end up talking to for half the night as he consoled her.&amp;quot; They continued: &amp;quot;She didn&amp;#039;t want anyone to know where she was, or what she was doing. Her only link to how the X Factor furore was unfolding was the internet. She was glued to showbiz websites. &amp;quot;Cheryl wants to take a trip to the lakes in Italy, or to the South of France. She&amp;#039;s totally exhausted and a holiday is exactly what she needs.&amp;quot; Cole reportedly turned down a \u00C2\u00A32 million ($3.8 million) offer to return to The X Factor in the UK. She and Dannii Minogue have been replaced on the panel by Tulisa Contostavlos from N-Dubz and Kelly Rowland. &amp;quot;Simon [Cowell] made this enormous peace offering, but Cheryl refused to play ball,&amp;quot; the source claimed. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s had so many offers, she doesn&amp;#039;t know what to do with them all.&amp;quot; Cowell has suggested that Cole was &amp;quot;slightly out [of] her comfort zone in America, compared to what she was in the UK&amp;quot;. It has been claimed that Cole has been dumped by her alleged boyfriend Derek Hough following her departure from The X Factor USA.
