Paula Abdul has confirmed the reports that her first season on The X Factor will also be her last.

“Yes, it’s true; I won’t be returning to The X Factor next season,” the reality TV judge revealed in a statement on Tuesday.

“I’ve learned through my longevity in this industry that business decisions often times override personal considerations.”

Steve Jones doesn't have the X factor.

"I won't be hosting next season Xfactor which is a shame but I cant complain as I've had a great time," Steve tweeted on Monday afternoon.
