Tulisa Quits 'The X Factor' Amid 'I'm a Celebrity' Rumors
The former N-Dubz singer has reportedly decided to leave the ITV talent show after three seasons as a judge.
Sources close to Tulisa have claimed that she is keen to focus on her music career and is in talks to appear in the upcoming series of 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'.
Tulisa, 24, has been a judge on 'The X Factor' since 2011, but it has been reported that she has grown tired of the format and is looking for a new challenge.
"Tulisa has loved her time on 'The X Factor', but she feels that it is time for a change," a source told The Sun.
"She wants to focus on her music and she is also keen to do some acting, so she thinks that leaving the show is the right decision."
It is thought that Tulisa's decision to leave 'The X Factor' will come as a blow to the show's bosses, as she is one of its most popular judges.
However, it is understood that the singer has already met with ITV executives to discuss her departure and that they are supportive of her decision.
Tulisa's departure from 'The X Factor' will leave a big hole in the judging panel, and it is not yet known who will replace her.
There have been rumors that Cheryl Cole could return to the show, but this has not been confirmed.
Tulisa's decision to leave 'The X Factor' comes after a difficult few months for the singer.
In May, she was arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs, and she is due to appear in court in September.
She has also been plagued by rumors of a rift with her N-Dubz bandmates, Dappy and Fazer.
However, despite her recent troubles, Tulisa remains one of the most popular singers in the UK and her departure from 'The X Factor' is sure to cause a stir.
