Kelly Rowland has been charming fans overseas for the last year as a judge on the UK's "The X Factor"; however, her days on the panel are unfortunately over, she just confirmed.
Rowland blamed "scheduling issues" and "global commitments" for her exit from Simon Cowell's hit. The singer released a statement, saying she was unable to find a "workable solution" after discussing it with the show's producers for a number of weeks.
"I love the UK and being part of the show last year. Mentoring the girls was such an incredible experience I will never forget. I would like to thank Simon for the great opportunity and asking me to be a judge last season," Rowland said.
Rowland joined the revamped panel in 2011. Danni Minogue (pop star sister of global megastar Kylie Minogue) – who was a judge on the program from 2007-10 – is already rumored as Rowland's replacement.
After being a dominant force in UK television for several years, "The X Factor" suffered low ratings last year as it slowly shed viewers in the weeks following its season premiere. Likewise, "American Idol" and new hit "The Voice" have created some very strong competition for the US iteration of the program, which didn't connect with audiences last year and is also on the lookout for a new panel of judges itself.
