Everybody’s talking about: X Factor

It’s all change for the next season of the talent show – Dermot O’Leary may be back to present, but judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini-Cole-Tweedy is out.

The singer announced that she was quitting the show this morning, saying she wants to focus on her music career:

I have learnt so much and enjoyed nurturing talent but I’ve missed making music and am excited to be recording again. I want to thank everybody I have worked with along the way, especially Simon, who I love to bits. I hope the show continues to produce stars and I wish them all the best.
