GIRLS ALOUD - COLE: 'I'M NOT QUALIFIED TO BE TALENT JUDGE'

LATEST: GIRLS ALOUD star CHERYL COLE withdrew from her role as judge on TV talent search BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT last month (FEB07) because she "isn't qualified" to pass judgement on fame-seeking wannabes. The LOVE MACHINE singer, who found fame on British reality TV show POPSTARS: THE RIVALS, admits she would be too nice to the contestants - as she has faced the acid-tongued remarks of SIMON COWELL first hand. She says, "I wouldn't become a judge, I don't think I would be qualified. Who am I to judge other people? I know people think I am fiery but I think I'd be too diplomatic. "I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of the criticism. I love Simon Cowell though, I think he has a good heart - he really is a pussy cat."
