Published 21st May 2013

Tulisa has confirmed that she won’t be returning as a judge on The X Factor this year.

The 24-year-old N-Dubz star told her 3million followers on Twitter: "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. I'd like to thank everyone on The X Factor for two amazing years.

“Stay tuned as I have a very exciting announcement soon!”

Tulisa joined The X Factor in 2011 after Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue left the judging panel the previous year.

She stayed on the show for two seasons judging alongside Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Kelly Rowland (2011) and Nicole Scherzinger (2012).

Earlier today it was confirmed that both Gary and Louis will be judging the tenth series of The X Factor. It’s also rumoured that Sharon Osbourne could be making a comeback this year.

Despite featuring the number one single ‘Young’, Tulisa’s debut solo album ‘The Female Boss’ only charted at number 35 upon release in November 2012.
