Tulisa Contostavlos has confirmed that she will not be returning to the X Factor this year.
The former 'N-Dubz' singer announced on her Twitter page on Wednesday that she will not be reprising her judging role on the talent show and is keen to get to work on something different, the Sun reported.
"Just wanted to let you all know that I won't be part of the X Factor panel this year. I've had a great time on the show, but this year it's time to do something different," she posted.
"I'd like to thank everyone on The X Factor for two amazing years. Stay tuned as I have a very exciting announcement soon!" the star said.
Former judge Sharon Osbourne will be replacing her to save the show after it suffered a loss of over three million viewers last year.
