Cheryl Cole is expected to leave the UK X Factor for the US version this year

Simon Cowell has all but confirmed Cheryl Cole as a judge on the US X Factor, but American stars still have no idea who the Geordie singer is.

Former American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson was asked about Cheryl during a trip to the UK - but thought she was being asked about a different Sheryl - one with 9 Grammy Award nominations to her name   

'Sheryl Crow?' Jennifer, 29, asked.

Once put straight she replied: 'No, I'm not familiar with her.'

Jennifer Lopez admitted last month that she hadn't heard about the 27-year-old either. 

'Ah, someone mentioned her to me yesterday,' Jennifer, 41, told Fabulous. ?She's a singer, right?
 
'I don't know too much about her, I don't know her music.

'I'd be happy to learn about it!'
