Singer Demi Lovato is set to leave the US version of the X Factor to focus on her music.
"I started the show being a singer and a musician, and so I'm going to go back to that” said Demi on the decision to leave.
“It's been really great, but I'm so excited for 2014. I'm going to dedicate it completely and entirely to music – touring and making a new album. Possibly releasing one."
“I always knew she wasn’t coming back because she’s touring” said show creator Simon Cowell about her departure.
Speaking about what Demi would miss about X Factor, she said; "Being able to sit next to Kelly and Paulina and see them twice a week, and also helping mentor the contestants."
The future of the US show remains unclear as viewer figures dropped this year. Will you miss Demi in the hotseat?
