Simon Cowell is set to return to this year's British version of The X Factor.

The superstar judge has been working on the US version of the hit show for the last three years.

But it's been announced the US show won't be returning for a new series.

It's not yet been confirmed who else will be joining Simon to make up the rest of the UK judging panel.
