X Factor Israel as a judge
The British producer, who currently assesses contestants in
America’s Got Talent, was set to appear as a judge on the Israeli version of
X Factor.
However, the company producing the show,
Reshet, confirmed that the TV personality will not be making his now-canceled appearance on the show.
Rumours of him pulling out began to circulate in the backdrop of Israel’s renewed violence against Palestine.
While he did not give a solid reason, a source close to him told
Jewish News that he could not partake in the show for "a number of reasons" and was left "bitterly disappointed" over his subsequent exit.
