Kelly Rowland and The X Factor: What’s really going on?

The last series of The X Factor only finished a month ago, but that’s not going stop us from talking about the next series of the talent show.
Auditions will get underway in just a few months, and we want to know just who’s going to be on the judging panel. According to The Mirror Kelly Rowland WON’T be putting it down this year, but we’ve spoken to Kel’s “people” and they’ve dismissed the claims that Kel definitely isn’t returning.

The tabloid reports this morning, “She enjoyed her time on the programme but was taken aback by the circus surrounding it. 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.”

However we’ve heard from Kelly’s spokesperson, and truth is that no one knows who is going to be on the panel this year simply because negotiations haven’t even started yet,

“She loves being in the UK, loves being on the show. Discussions with the judges haven’t started yet.”
So there you have it. No one knows who’ll be on the show – no even Simon Cowell by the sounds of it. We’d love to see Kelly back on The X Factor, but do you want her back for a second year?
