Louis Walsh reckons Cheryl Cole's a bit of a teacher's pet.
The X Factor judge says the Girls Aloud star has boss Simon Cowell, 51, wrapped round her little finger because she always sides with him.
'Cheryl's very ambitious and feisty and she's Simon's pet,' Louis, 58, tells the Daily Mirror. 
'She gets away with murder.' 
Simon is such a fan of Cheryl, 27, that - despite worries about her Geordie accent - he's even considering asking her to join him in the States to launch the US version of The X Factor.
