The Geordie singer, who left the show in 2011, is expected to have assured the producers of `X Factor` that she wants to make her judging panel comeback "Her return is now 99 per cent concluded. The meeting was a case of tying up some loose ends and things went really well. Simon and show producers are just waiting on Cheryl?s confirmation. Everyone is really excited about the idea of having her back on the show," a source said. Cowell also hinted earlier that Cole could be close to signing up again for the show. "I am hopeful we can do something. She still has a poker face at the moment but we both need each other. She would be crazy to turn it down," he had said.
