Cheryl Fernandez-Versini earned £2.4 million on X Factor return


Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has earned nearly £2.4 million since returning to ‘The X Factor’.

The 32-year-old singer – who rejoined the judging panel of the ITV talent show last year – has reportedly made £1.38 million from her performing arts company Cherco Productions.

And her second business CC Couture has seen an increase in assets earning the pop star nearly £1 million for 2014, according to data publicly available on Companies House.

The ‘I Don’t Care’ hitmaker – who is also executive producer on the current series of the show – also has other sources of income including her highly popular fragrance Stormflower.

The brunette beauty reportedly bagged £1.8 million on her return to the ‘The X Factor’ while fellow judge Rita Ora was tempted away from ‘The Voice’ with an offer of £1.5 million.

BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw is believed to be raking in £1 million and show boss Simon Cowell has pocketed £4 million.

Elsewhere, Cheryl is reportedly going to take some time out once this series of ‘The X Factor’ ends to spend time in France with husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini due to stress.

A source said previously: "Cheryl’s virtually counting the hours until she can head off for a break from the constant pressure.

"She lives a healthy life as much as is possible with her schedule and that’s nobody’s business but hers."
