Possibly beating them to the punch, sources say the Princess of Pop and mum-of-two has quit the X factor show.
Britney Spears may be going on the offensive in response to the news that FOX’s The X Factor producers are preparing to let her go.
Despite FOX boss Kevin Reilly’s recent comment that Spears is welcome to return to the show, industry sources disclose that the producers have already been making other plans for next season over the holidays and that her participation going forward isn’t on the docket.
But, according to some sources, Spears is resigning from the singing competition to focus on her music, even though “she loves the show.”
One insider said: "Britney loves Simon, she likes Demi Lovato but her thing is music."
Britney is currently in the studio recording her 8th album and it is believed she may now go back on tour again.
Simon now has two seats to fill on the panel after L.A. Reid announced his decision to quit the show last month.
