Chez cut from 'X' preview

Well, that's got to sting. The special two-minute preview of the US X Factor premiered recently on American TV and Cheryl was not shown onscreen once.

In fact, she seems to have been airbrushed from the whole programme as the clip opens with what is supposed to be 'Day 1' of the auditions, with Nicole Scherzinger sat on the judging panel. As we know Cheryl filmed up to 'Day 4' of the auditions.

But back to the preview itself - it's really rather dramatic! Have a look below and tell us what you think - are you going to tune in?
