Will.i.am wants Cheryl Cole to perform on 'The Voice' to 'p**s off' Simon Cowell.
The Black Eyed Peas frontman is thrilled the 'Fight For This Love' hitmaker - who was axed as a judge on the music mogul's US 'X Factor' last year after just one week - is in line to sing on the BBC One show to get one over on Simon.
Will - who is on the panel of the programme alongside Sir Tom Jones, Jessie J and Danny O'Donoghue - told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: 'I want her on the Voice. I mean why not? That would really p**s the big man off wouldn't it.
'This is her year by the way - Cheryl is back! You all gonna love her new music - it's on it, on the money.'
Will - who manages the Girls Aloud singer - is thought to have blocked a move for 28-year-old beauty to return to the UK X Factor.
A source said: 'He wouldn't let Cheryl call Simon and the production team. Simon and all the producers were gutted.'
A TV source added: 'Cheryl has been working on new material for months. She is determined to relaunch herself as a credible artist and 'The Voice' will be the perfect platform to showcase her latest tracks.
'The fact her manager is on the judging panel means it's an absolute no-brainer for her.'
