Sharon to quit X Factor
 
 

Feisty X factor judge Sharon Osbourne plans to leave the hit show next year.

The reality TV star has told pals she has had enough — and is keen to move on to other projects, according to reports in The Sun.

The move comes after show boss Simon Cowell brought Dannii Minogue on board, and with Sharon said to feel increasingly 'out of the loop'.

A source said: "Sharon has been shuttling between LA and the UK while filming X Factor and America’s Got Talent, so she didn’t feel quite ‘in’ with everyone during recording.

"And she's fed up with Cowell trying to pit her against Dannii. She feels that it's time to move on."

But it appears that Sharon's judging days aren't quite over over yet as she has recently signed a three-year deal to star on America’s Got Talent.

An insider revealed: "Sharon hasn't told any of the top brass about her intentions yet.

"She wanted to keep this quiet as she makes her final decision. But she's now set to announce it in the second part of her autobiography. She hasn’t fallen out with anyone, but thinks it’s time to go."
