Did everyone watch Alan Carr Chatty Man on Friday? We liked the bit where he asked Tulisa if she was coming back to X Factor, and she had that momentary blank where she couldn’t remember what her PR had told her to say about the X Factor. So she mumbled that she was, and sheepishly nodded as if maybe she wasn’t on the tele and nobody would remember this.

ANYWAY, so Tulisa is coming back. But Kelly Rowland isn’t. We’re saddened, but not exactly surprised. From the Frankie Cocozza (‘wut?’) shock revelation gaffe, to Kelly ‘phoning in sick and making her throat sound all scratchy’ we sort of got the idea her heart wasn’t really in it.

We look forward to finding out who she is replaced with. Will it be the return of Alexandra Burke…dot com? Forward slash perhaps?
