Simon Cowell has denied rumours that he will be joining the judging panel of America’s Got Talent.

Cowell told Access Hollywood: “No, no…It’s not quite as simple as that. I don’t know if I’d like to.

“I like being on American Idol – I’ve had a good time. I like producing America’s Got Talent and I am on the British version and another show on top of that [X Factor], so it’s quite nice to have variety really.”

Cowell went on to chat about the possibility of him leaving American Idol after this season saying: “My gut feeling is that I probably will do a new show…but you know, we haven’t fallen out.”
