To be appalled at CONVICTED violent criminal Cheryl Cole hosting X-Factor

[Samantha1971]

I am appalled that Cheryl Cole (nee Tweedy) a woman who bashed a toilet attendant and was convicted of this is to host/judge on the popular TV show "X-Factor.". My two young girls watch this. What kind of example are we setting for our children? Should we give Garry Glitter a chance to come and host a pop show aimed at a family audience? I don't think so. So why is this allowed to happen? I'm shocked. When I was young, TV presenters where cheerful charismatic people with wholesome lifestyles. My girls are exposed to people like Paris Hilton who is a famous slut and famous for nothing more than sleeping with many different men. My girls have people like Paris Hilton and Cheryl Cole as TV role models. I don't think I'm being unreasonable by saying I think it's time we stopped glorifying these kinds of people.

Read about the new X-Factor judge here and decide whether this person is an appropriate role model for our daughters.

Is she talented though? Seriously. In what way? I must admit, I can't stand her.

I agree the Gary Glitter comparison is way OTT but they did last year boot a contestant off the show who was caught on a mobile happy slapping and they also booted someone off the girl band as she had failed to complete her community service. However in both cases neither had been punished/finished off the punishment from the court. C Cole has completed her sentence. I do think she has moved on since then and children watching the prog probably would not associate her with the criminal matter.

PS original poster, she is not hosting the show, she will be a judge

What about her victim? Has she been able to move on?

If you are allowing TV celebs to be your daughters' role model, then you have problems.

I sky+ x-factor and skip all the dull bits with the singing and stuff and just watch Dermot...

so not really arsed about Chezza.

giraffeski- that's what I thought, too.

And what has talent got to do with the X factor??

My biggest problem is the thought of a reality TV star trying to judge other reality TV stars. It's becoming farcical.

The OP does sound like a journalist fishing for quotes tbh (speaking as a journo myself).

LOL at the nee Tweedy in the OP (so that we can all go off and google the incident in case we'd never heard of it?)

Other than that

4 don't care

I thought Val Singleton "courted" Pete Murray?

Weere they each other's beards?

Oi Nick Ferrari, stop pretending to be a young mum you perv

Paris Hilton is indeed a famous slut however. I think she should be a judge on the X factor.She's got a bit of form too so she'd be perfect.

Well tbh I don't care that Cheryl Cole is joining the show. I do however wish that Louis Walsh would disappear. His "you made it your own" line irritates me intensely.

who is nick ferrari?another zzzzzzzzz list schleb

Valerie Singleton??? Next you'll be telling me John Leslie is a sleazebag.

LMAO @ the idea of cheryl cole judging a talent competition. And a singing competition at that!

Do we care if the OP's a journo?

Incidentally, the toilet attendent may well have received a smack in the gob or whatever, but we don't know exactly what happened between her and Chezza, and she made herself a tidy few quid selling the story to the tabloids.

And why should we be wound up into giving free quotes for her paper?

It is so clear that she is a journo, cannot believe anyone doubts it. Not a very good one either, if she can't write well enough to fake a more convincing OP.

Samantha1971, we see through your half-arsed attempt to stir us up! [blows raspberry]

lol well if she wants cliched tired ole quotes stroll over to any SAHM Vs Working mum thread. thats got them all plenty to shame us all
