Nicole Scherzinger is out as judge of The X Factor

Nicole Scherzinger has asked not to return to The X Factor and Simon Cowell has given her his blessing.

Steve Jones is also out as host.

What a shocking turn of events! I love this show!

From TVLine:

Jones, out. And Nicole Scherzinger, too.

On the heels of Brit personality Steve Jones announcing that he will not be returning as host of the Stateside adaptation of The X Factor, it’s being reported Nicole Scherzinger is parting ways with the Fox series as well.

Not two hours later, E! Online reported, citing source, that Scherzinger asked off the show, where she served as a judge, and that boss man Simon Cowell has “given her his blessing.”
