Kelly Rowland is not expected to return to 'The X Factor'.

From his side, Simon felt that Kelly had got off to a really strong start but slightly faded towards the latter half of the series. He is already on the look-out for fresh talent.

The 'When Love Takes Over' hitmaker - who sat on the panel alongside Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos on the last series - reportedly couldn't cope with all the surrounding emotional stress of the ITV1 show, while programme boss Simon Cowell was less than impressed with her overall performance.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She enjoyed her time on the programme but was taken aback by the circus surrounding it.

"From his side, Simon felt that Kelly had got off to a really strong start but slightly faded towards the latter half of the series. He is already on the look-out for fresh talent."

Before the last series ended, Kelly - who clashed with Tulisa when the N-Dubz singer branded Kelly's act Misha B a "bully" live on TV - admitted she was unsure whether she wanted to renew her contract.

She told BANG Showbiz: "I'm really not sure whether I'll be doing it again. If Simon Cowell wanted me back on the show then it would be something I would have to think about. I don't know if I could do it again. We'll have to see what happens."
