London, Dec 8 : Brit singer and X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has revealed that she plans on following in Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell’s footsteps after she retires from her career as a singer.

Cole, 25, wants to go into pop management and guide young acts to stardom the way her fellow X Factor judges are doing.

The Girls Aloud member had risen to fame under the guidance of Westlife manager Walsh, 56, after she won Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, but she identifies herself more with Cowell.

“Simon and I think alike and I’d like to manage some acts like he does,” the Sun quoted her as saying.

“Someone said I’m the female version of Simon — I don’t quite know how to take that!” she added. (ANI)
