You probably won’t be surprised to hear that Steve Jones will not be having his contract renewed when X Factor USA returns for a second season.

Last night the reality TV host Tweeted:

“I won’t be hosting next seasons X Factor which is a shame but I can’t complain as I’ve had a great time. Good luck to everyone on the show.” 

Aw, we bet he’s gutted.

Meanwhile the Fox network have also confirmed that Nicole Scherzinger will not be returning for the second series, although it’s still not 100& clear why. 

Rumour has it the 33-year-old singer wants to focus on her music career and she found it a challenge to juggle both when X Factor consumed most of her time.

Oooh, who do you think Simon will get to replace her? We think Cheryl might be free.
