Janet Jackson has confirmed that she will not be taking a spot on the judging panel for the forthcoming second series of US X Factor.
Janet told online publication The Insider: "(I’m) very flattered that X Factor let me know that I was being considered for next season, but it just wouldn’t be possible."
The singer cited tour commitments as well as a new film project as the main reasons she would not be able to take up a role.
A representative also said: "There have been absolutely no meetings between Janet and anyone with regard to X Factor."
