Simon Cowell has said that the next series of X Factor will be his last, according to The Sun. It's Cowell's company Syco that produces the show but when asked if the franchise will continue, he answered "Probably yes, but not with me on it". Louis Walsh wants to continue, though: "I like doing the show because I like the unpredictability about it," he said.
Sharon Osbourne also says she won't be participating in a third series as she's planning to take a two year break. A two year break. Jeez. Two years. I'm lucky if I get two days.
