Cowell 'may quit one of his shows'

Simon Cowell has revealed that he may have to quit one of his three reality talent shows.

The judge told The Sun that he is often exhausted when working on The X Factor, Britain's Got Talent and American Idol.

Cowell said: "Last year was tough and I really felt it around about the end of the year.

"There's a lot of pressure that comes with making the shows, running the record label and running the TV production company."

He added: "I got to the point where I was doing Idol, finishing auditions, getting room service at 10pm and then working for another six or seven hours on the British stuff.

"You do that week after week, month after month and it takes its toll on you. It's a nice position to be in, but we may have to adapt a few things. Eventually something may have to give."

However, Cowell predicted that little would change on The X Factor, which he believes has found "a good balance" with its current lineup of judges.
