The British pop star who was originally slated to judge the U.S. version of X Factor, but then dropped by producers and replaced with Nicole Scherzinger, has posted a response to her fans on her website.

Here’s what Cheryl had to say to her devoted fans who thought that maybe she wasn’t doing well since being replaced on X Factor:

Hi my Gorgeous ones.

It’s me! I wanted to talk to you all direct, and first and foremost thank you all for your continued love, unbelievable LOYALTY and support and remind you that I love you all to bits.

Where do i start? I have had the weirdest past few weeks (nothing unusual there though.) I wouldn’t even know how to begin to tell you all about it.

What I do know for certain is that I have the BEST, most unbelievable people out there, who I feel so lucky to call my support system. You never fail to amaze me. I have been reading your letters and opening my prezzies ( I feel very spoilt) and hearing all of your kind, special and inspiring things you want to say to me.

I feel your presence and strength always, and no matter what decision I makeor what it is I’m facing, I appreciate you all more than you’ll ever know.
It also breaks my heart a little when i hear that some of you worry about me and need to know that I am ok, so I want to PROMISE you that I am absolutely fine and more than ok!

I have had the time that I have not had in so long to just chill with my loved ones and do the normal things that I like to do. See my friends and family and be with my doggys :D. It feels long overdue and sooooo good, even my feet are happy to not have to wear a pair of high heels hehe..

You are my little soldiers and you mean the world to me. Remember what I tell you, stay strong, keep calm and carry on ;) I’ll speak to you all soon when I have some new news, until then I salute you :)

Lots of love and cuddles. Love me CC x

We’re glad to see that Cheryl is handling the swift change so well! Are you disappointed you won’t be seeing her on the X Factor or are you glad she was let go?
