The singer’s rep confirmed the news in a statement released
on Tuesday morning.
Cheryl has decided she will not be returning as a judge for
the next series of The X Factor. Cheryl met with Simon Cowell recently to
inform him of her decision.
Cheryl has enjoyed her involvement with the hit show but has
decided to focus on her music career. She has started work on a new album which
will be released later this year.
Cheryl said: ‘I have had such an amazing experience being a
judge on The X Factor. I have learnt so much and enjoyed nurturing talent but
I’ve missed making music and am excited to be recording again.
I want to thank
everybody I have worked with along the way, especially Simon who I love to
bits. I hope the show continues to produce stars and I wish them all the best.
Simon Cowell said: ‘Cheryl and myself spoke about this. I
totally understand her commitment to making more records. She has been amazing
on the show and in the near future we will be working on other things
together.’
Cheryl returned to The X Factor in 2014 in a line-up with
Mel B, Louis Walsh and Simon and stayed for another season that saw the two
former judges replaced by Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw.

Nick has confirmed he won’t be coming back for a second
series while it is reported that Simon is planning on getting Louis back for
the 2016 series.
Dermot O’Leary has also spectacularly returned as host,
though it will be a hit to Simon to lose Cheryl.
