Sharon OsbourneMrs O's on the moveSharon Osbourne has announced that she won't be returning for the next series of The X Factor.

But why has our favourite judge decided to go? 

In a statement released today, Sharon thanked fellow judge Simon Cowell and the British public for their support, but gave no further clues as to why she's quitting just days before auditions begin for the new series.

 Claims that The X Factor's first lady was after more cash are unconfirmed.

The statement simply said; "Sharon will be making no further comment."

ITV have thanked Sharon for her contribution to the show, and wished her the very best with future projects.

But they won't tell us if there's a job opening at camp X Factor. Will Sharon be replaced, or will Simon, Dannii and Louis become a threesome?

There is some good news for fans of Mrs O. She won't be away from our screens for long.

Sharon will front VH1’s upcoming reality show Rock of Love Girls: Charm School in which she'll attempt to school 14 girls on the art of having class, poise and practising proper etiquette.
