Not satisfied with the United States X Factor‘s season one judge? The good news is that he won’t be returning for season 2 according to a report from the UK.
What’s more: There’s talk of Scherzinger taking back the role she had originally been offered.
Veteran British presenter Jones was a complete unknown to American TV audience until Simon Cowell flew him over for a test at the last minute after Nicole Scherzinger, in her original role as host, nixed her chosen co-host, Corbin Bleu. Jones got the job after showing chemistry with Scherzinger. Of course, that soon proved irrelevant as Scherzinger was moved to the judges table following the dismissal of Cheryl Cole, and Jones became the show’s sole host. But the Welshman never seemed comfortable and has drawn mostly negative reviews for his performance. If Jones indeed goes, Scherzinger could get her old job as host of X Factor as she today declined to answer whether she would continue as judge on the show if asked back.
Are you happy to see Jonas out? And would you like to see Scherzinger take the role?
