In what will come as a surprise to any fans of X Factor USA, today  the show’s host Steve Jones officially announce his departure from the show, after just one season.

Without further delay, get into his statement below…

Announcing the news on Twitter, he confessed:

I won’t be hosting next seasons XFactor which is a shame but I cant complain as I’ve had a great time. Good luck to everyone on the show.

This, following a report by ITN that the Welsh star would be axed from the show, after failing to captivate US audiences.
