Simon Cowell says he may never “appear on screen again”

following the release of his new project StemDrop on TikTok, Simon revealed that TV networks in the US are urging him to bring back The X Factor.

He also said that it was "more likely than not" that the UK version will return in 2024.

He has some "ideas" but that he wouldn't just appear on the TV for the sake of it

So yes, those shows aside, it’s possible I won’t appear on screen again," Simon explained

"If X Factor doesn’t come back, I won’t be looking for other shows to appear on. I don’t want to be just a TV personality.
