It's a shocker, but will they find a fourth judge in time?

So how long till she's back then?

I wonder if it's a publicity stunt? (probably not but..)

Of course it is. It happens every year.

Yes she'll probably come back, it was Louis Walsh last year and he came back as the fourth judge.

So did she quit because they wouldn't employ her?

Hopefully it's just Simon, Danni and a new third judge - I don't think 4 judges really worked.

Sharron really isn't a loss to the programme now - after all her biggest success related to the show is bloody Andy Abraham. She obviously wasn't interested last year - and was only in it for the money this year. The right decision I think.

(though it's no surprise if it's yet another publicity stunt).

Plus she's doing America's Got Talent and I'd imagine she loves that more to be honest.

Im not surprised by this news and wouldnt be at all surprised if its true.

I agree Brekkie, no great loss. I much prefer Danni.

She walked out, two day before it was due to start! It's a stunt.

Now watch Sharon be replaced with Brian Friedman, the other judges to complain it isn't the same anymore, and a closeup of Simon saying "We're bringing back Sharon Osbourne" over a shot of a grinning Sharon in front of a huge X Factor logo.

PUBLICITY!

It looks like I'm in the minority as I will actually miss Sharon. They should just keep to the original format, with three judges.

Not really a huge fan of any of the judges but I found Osbourne more tolerable then the unbearably annoying Danni Minouge.
