Kelly Rowland reportedly feels X Factor bosses have “stitched” her up after they allegedly dumped her from the show.

The ‘Motivation’ singer announced her departure from the talent show this week, blaming her hectic work schedule. But the R&B beauty is said to be reeling with how her exit has been orchestrated and the rumours swirling around that she wanted a bigger paycheck.

A friend speaking to the Daily Mail said: "It was [Kelly's] decision. [She] just decided not to sign." 

"She has emails going back months showing discussions ,so it is stupid of them to say they didn't want her or she was being greedy."

"Simon Cowell has gone on record saying he wanted Kelly back. She loved doing the show so feels a bit let down. She feels stitched up now and it just looks like they are panicking because they don't have a judge."

It has been reported that the show’s bosses wanted the singer to work more hours, but receive less money than her co-stars Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos.

Dannii Minogue is said to be another celebrity in the pipeline, along with Katy Perry, to fill Ms Rowland’s shows. And massive shoes they are.
