Sharon Osbourne Rules Out X Factor Return

Sharon Osbourne has said she won’t be returning for another season of X Factor.

The 61-year-old has revealed she’s putting family and US commitments first from now on.

Asked if she would consider filling the one remaining spot on this year's panel, Osbourne told Loose Women: "No, no, no, you can't go back again. No.

"Love the show, it's become a part of British culture, everybody loves it, you can't help but get pulled into it but no, it's too much."

Osbourne went on to add that things weren’t great last year when she was on the panel: "I'd lose my job in America because they let me out for one season. I'd wake up in hotel rooms and not know where I was. Also I've got a family so I can't do it."

An announcement is expected this week as to who the fourth judge will be, with Simon Cowell promising it’s a woman.
