Jennifer Lopez has confirmed she will not be returning as a judge on American Idol.
The 42-year-old singer put an end to speculation she was leaving the US' most-watched TV show after two years in the role. Jennifer announced the news during a phone interview with Ryan Seacrest on his radio show yesterday.
"When I signed on to Idol I signed on for one year and I wound up doing two years because I just fell so in love with the show, everybody there... and I didn't know I'd be so moved emotionally by working on the show," Jennifer said.

"I could keep just doing Idol for the rest of my life but that would be giving up a bunch of other things. We had an amazing run," she said.
The 'On The Floor' singer is currently on her 'Dance Again' world tour, which will be coming to London in October.
