THE X FACTOR: Demi Lovato Will Return for Season 3

THE X FACTOR’s Demi Lovato will return for season 3, Fox announced in a press release.

“I couldn’t be happier that Demi wants to come back this year,” said Simon Cowell in a statement. “She’s a superstar in her own right and was a fantastic mentor last year. Even though she can be really, really annoying – I truly enjoyed working with her and so did the artists. I’m especially pleased she’s back, even during her world tour!”

“I am so excited to return as a judge and mentor on THE X FACTOR,” Lovato added. “Last season was an unbelievable experience and I really enjoyed developing personal relationships with the contestants and the panel. I look forward to taking my previous experience and applying it to make this season even better!”

“We couldn’t be more excited for Demi to return to THE X FACTOR next season. She’s an incredible mentor, an insightful judge and we know she’ll bring her amazing energy, enthusiasm and charm to the panel,” said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, FOX. “She also isn’t afraid to stand up to Simon or say what’s on her mind – and we can’t wait to see more of that honesty and fun next year.”

So far, Lovato and Cowell are the only mentors set to return for the show’s upcoming third season. Season 2 mentors Britney Spears and L.A. Reid (who was the only mentor to continue on with Cowell from the show’s first season) have opted out of returning to the show.
