Kelly Rowland has confirmed that she will not be returning to the UK version of The X Factor judging panel this year.

A spokesman for the Former Destiny’s Child member confirmed the news, saying that she couldn’t “whole- heartedly commit” to The X Factor.

“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,” Kellly’s spokesperson stated via MTV NEWS UK

The Motivation singer adds, “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.”

Perhaps, Kelly is making way to judge the US version of the show alongside Britney Spears?
