X Factor's Simon Cowell vows to return to the UK version

Media mogul Simon Cowell, who had quit X-Factor UK two years ago, has promised to return to the show as he considers the show his baby.

The 53-year-old had quit the panel to work on his US version of the programme, reported Daily Mirror.

Last year, X-Factor UK series saw a slump in viewership and bosses are considering ways to rekindle public interest.

"I'm definitely getting more involved. I'm not going to lie. I do miss doing it, because it's, like, my baby. So at some point of course I'm going to come back," Cowell said.

He returns to small screen with a new series of Britain's Got Talent beginning next month.
