Simon Cowell could leave American Idol as he exports the X Factor to U.S
Simon Cowell could be leaving US hit show American Idol at the end of the next series and launching an American version of The X Factor.
American Idol would fall apart without Cowell
Cowell, whose contract with the Idol show expires in May, has been in talks with broadcaster Fox since last summer.
An announcement is expected in the next fortnight and it is thought that a U.S. version of The X Factor will be lined up for 2011.
