“Simon Cowell faces an almost impossible task bringing Sharon Osbourne back to The X Factor – because she is double booked in the US. The popular former judge is *expected to return this series in a judging panel shake-up. But she’s also a fixture on The Talk, which airs every week day in the US, the Sunday People reports. The potential clash will mean Sharon, 63, is forced to constantly fly back and forth to the US to fulfil both commitments.
An insider said: “She’s an incredibly determined woman, as everyone *involved in The X Factor knows – but this looks *almost impossible.” And a US TV source said: “Sharon is going *nowhere from The Talk – she’s a huge part of that show and is very much *expected to remain.”
Reports of Sharon’s *return to the show have pleased her fans, who believe her stint alongside Dannii Minogue , Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell, which ended in 2007, was a golden era.
But the insider added: “Doing both shows at the same time will be really gruelling for Sharon, and it’s hard to imagine how she can fit it all in. “Obviously The X Factor haven’t confirmed her return yet but the logistics are going to play a major part in the final stages of talks.”
Sharon was one of the show’s original judges in 2004. She has said she would never work with Cowell again and had a massive fall-out with Dannii. But her feud with the boss has since been smoothed over and the pair enjoyed dinner *together in Los Angeles with Louis Walsh, who is also *rumoured to be returning. A source said at the time: “Simon invited Louis and Sharon to see if it was still the same as before. Louis is determined for Sharon to take the job. He has made it a big part of his decision to come back and has urged Simon to persuade her.””
