Kelly Rowland confirms X-Factor exit!
 

Kelly Rowland has confirmed that she will not return to the X Factor panel.

The former Destiny's Child singer joined the show last year, but will be replaced in this year's judging lineup.

"After much speculation, we can officially confirm today that Kelly Rowland has decided not to return as a judge again for this year's UK X Factor," her spokesperson said.

"Global commitments coupled with the show's increasing demands this year mean that, despite weeks of deliberation with the show, Kelly has not been able to agree a deal that fits into her autumn/winter schedule, so sadly cannot accept a place on the 2012 panel.

"Kelly thoroughly enjoyed her role as a judge on the show, but felt that if there couldn't be a workable solution to scheduling issues so that she could effectively juggle her other commitments then she couldn't wholeheartedly commit to the show this year."

Rowland said: "I love the UK and being part of the show last year. Mentoring the girls was such an incredible experience I will never forget. I would like to thank Simon for the great opportunity and asking me to be a judge last season."

Show host Dermot O'Leary recently told Digital Spy that he would like to see Rowland back on the panel, adding that the programme needs "continuity".

Dannii Minogue, who was on the judging panel between 2007 and 2010, has been tipped to return in place of Rowland. It recently emerged that Minogue had a fling with show boss Simon Cowell in 2007.

Fellow judge Tulisa Contostavlos has said that she would get on with Minogue should she return to the show.

Gary Barlow confirmed his return to the head of the panel earlier this month and is said to have signed a £2 million contract.

:hello:

Making out it was all her decision, bet she was given the boot

looooool

Bring back Dannii :pipe:

I never thought she'd return. I was saying all through the live shows that she's not liking it at all and won't be back. Taking that week off with a "sore" throat proved it.

Good.

Throwing Janet, Amelia and Sophie all under a bus and favoured the awful Misha B :bored:

bye bitch

Misha wasn't awful, have you seen her recent mixtape?

What has happened to the other 3, especially Amelia?:conf:

Not bothered either way that Kelly isn't returning...

How very dare you!

Janet and Sophie were painful. Amelia not much better, a screecher who sang outside of her range and wanted to be a "bigger" singer than she actually was.
I'm no fan of Misha either but still.

so pleased shes not returning pity gary is though

LUCAS I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU

Im glad she's gone as she had the best category last year yet she killed every single one of them off with repetitive performances.

I wonder who they're gonna get to replace her? Alesha Dixon would be a good choice.

I think it will be Katy Perry sadly, while I think she makes good Music she is also quite irritating to listen to in interviews.

Ok.com

If Alexandra Burke replaces her I wont be watching. Hopefully it'll just be Dannii.

I liked her
:'(

Thank all powers that be for that, glad to see her go.

Good. she was quite useless as a judge and mentor. I liked her to start with but then it became painfully clear that she didnt give a stuff about her girls except for Misha. Also the fake flu thing was pathetic. And chosing not to vote...which would mean janet went home...while using the excuse that she couldnt chose. If you really couldnt chose you would have made it deadlock and let the public decide.

Lily Allen plz

Well for all you h8erz, Destiny's Child are reuniting and are currently working on making new music so Kelly DID choose to leave
