FOX Television announced today that pop singer Demi Lovato will be returning as a judge on the third season of Simon Cowell’s The X Factor.
“I couldn’t be happier that Demi wants to come back this year,” Simon Cowell released in a statement on Thursday. “She’s a superstar in her own right and was a fantastic mentor last year. Even though she can be really, really annoying – I truly enjoyed working with her and so did the artists. I’m especially pleased she’s back even during her world tour!”
Last season Lovato and Britney Spears were newcomers to The X Factor judging panel alongside veterans Simon Cowell and LA Reid. Since the show’s finale last season, Spears and Reid have left the show to pursue new endeavors, leaving Simon Cowell as the only remaining judge from the show’s first season.
Now with Lovato back on the panel, two of the four spots have been filled for The X Factor‘s upcoming third season.
“I am so excited to return as a judge and mentor on The X Factor,” Lovato announced in a statement. “Last season was an unbelievable experience and I really enjoyed developing personal relationships with the contestants and the panel. I look forward to taking my previous experience and applying it to make this season even better!”
