"Louis Walsh has claimed that Cheryl Cole will forgive Simon Cowell after her alleged axe from The X Factor USA. Walsh explained that he has spoken to the singer and insisted that she is &amp;quot;going to be fine&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sure she and Simon will patch things up,&amp;quot; Walsh told Capital FM. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;ve always been friends and he gave her a chance. It&amp;#039;s all the Americans&amp;#039; fault! We&amp;#039;ve been texting back and forth every day and she&amp;#039;s going to be fine.&amp;quot; The 58-year-old said that he joked about wearing &amp;quot;purple trousers&amp;quot; on this year&amp;#039;s series of The X Factor and Cole &amp;quot;laughed&amp;quot;. X Factor bosses were reportedly forced to give up on Cole returning to the UK judging panel, after she ignored Simon Cowell&amp;#039;s attempts at contact. Walsh was confirmed as a judge alongside Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Kelly Rowland earlier this week. The foursome judged their first set of X Factor auditions in Birmingham earlier today.
