Shock! Kelly Rowland not returning for X Factor UK 2012!

It has been claimed today by the Daily Mirror that X Factor UK 2011 judge Kelly Rowland won’t be returning to the competition this year as part of the judging panel.

The US star apparently decided to quit the show and won’t even bother with talks with bosses ahead of the new series this summer.

“She enjoyed her time on the programme but was taken aback by the circus surrounding it,” A source has told Daily Mirror.

“From his side, Simon Cowell felt that Kelly had got off to a really strong start but slightly faded towards the latter half of the series.”
“He is already on the look-out for fresh talent.”

Auditions for the 2012 show will begin in February.
