Confirmation: Simon Cowell will not return to judge the UK X Factor show


Simon Cowell will not be returning as a judge on the UK X Factor, ITV boss Peter Fincham has confirmed,
The music mogul, who was originally slated to be splitting his time between America and England so he could judge both programme, will now concentrate solely on judging the U.S. show.

However, ITV added they were talking to Cowell about 'ways in which he can have an on-screen presence' later in the series.

Fincham, ITV's Director of Television, said: 'We have been in negotiations with Simon about ways in which we can help The X Factor evolve.

'He will be an enormous presence backstage as always.'

The Mail revealed earlier this month that Cowell was struggling to split his priorities between the two programmes and had decided that a balancing act between the two shows was 'just not feasible'.
