Moving forward to concentrate on the show's U.S. debut, Simon Cowell has officially quit his judging role on the U.K. version of "X Factor."
ITV has confirmed what has been speculated for months, that the 51-year-old is indeed leaving and will now work to divide his time between the American and British versions.
The network has also reported that Simon will remain "an enormous presence backstage" on the British version of the talent competition, yet it's unknown just how much on-air time fans can expect.
On top of the UK departure, Cowell has voiced his hopes in landing Nicole Scherzinger for the US version.
Simon told, "Yeah, I want her to do it but we've got to get the deal done and find someone with whom she has chemistry. But I absolutely adore her. She was fantastic on the UK X Factor. I'm hopeful it will happen."
He added: "She's gorgeous and ruthlessly ambitious and doesn't arrive with a massive entourage. Everyone adores her."
Cowell's newest "X Factor" adventure is scheduled to get underway sometime this fall on FOX.
