Simon Cowell Will Leave “American Idol”

Simon Cowell will quit American Idol at the end of next season, the star’s brother claimed last night.

Tony Cowell – who hosts a weekly radio broadcast called Fame Game – said the judge will instead work on creating a US version of The X Factor.

Tony blurted out the claim in a podcast of his show which was later removed.

He said: “Meanwhile, Simon prepares for a new season of ‘Idol,’ or should I say his last season of ‘Idol’ – OK, I will say it, because it is.

“As I sit here in the sunny Caribbean with my family, a press statement is being prepared which will confirm what everyone expected – Simon will leave ‘Idol’ at the end of 2010 to concentrate on bringing the American version of ‘The X Factor’ to US TV in 2011.”

A spokeswoman for Cowell – who is on holiday in Barbados – and the network Fox both declined to comment.
