Kelly Rowland out of X Factor

Singer Kelly Rowland won’t judge the British version of the music reality show, The X Factor, due to illness. Rowland fell sick during a trip to Los Angeles. “I’m so sick - I have no idea what is wrong with me, but I have the worst sore throat. I’ve been in tears all week. It got so bad that I stopped eating and drinking and got so dehydrated the doctor put me on a drip,” contactmusic.com quoted the 30-year-old as saying.

“Even now I can’t swallow anything - not even my own saliva,” she said.
