London, December 13 (ANI): Cheryl Cole reportedly wants to quit her job as X Factor judge to start a family with husband Ashley Cole.

The 26-year-old Girls Aloud star has allegedly told show’s supremo Simon Cowell that the rumoured offer of doubling her 1.2million pound salary would not change her decision.

“Cheryl has so much else going on in life. The number one thing on her mind is starting a family,” News of the World quoted an insider as saying.

“The show is a huge commitment. It’s six months of the year. Cheryl wanted to have a baby with Ashley this year but put it off because of work.

“She doesn’t want to wait much longer and she’s not keen on having to judge The X Factor while she’s heavily pregnant,” the insider added.

An ITV insider explained: “Simon hasn’t officially even done a deal with us to bring the show back next year. But he loves working with Cheryl and they’ve become very close friends.

“He also knows how much the public adore her and how good she’s been for ratings.

“Simon is very persuasive and Cheryl admires him hugely. He will try to get one last series out of her. For Simon it’s nothing short of a disaster if she does go through with what she’s thinking and walks out of the show.” (ANI)
