Jade Richards

Jade Richards has revealed that she may return to the X Factor next year.

The Scottish singer made it as far as the judges houses stage of the series last month, but was eliminated at the final stage by her mentor Kelly Rowland, after she opted to take Janet Devlin, Amelia Lily, Misha Bryan and Sophie Habibis to the live shows.

However the experience hasn’t put her off trying out again and though Jade admits she was ‘gutted’ by Kelly’s decision but may return in 2012. She told The Daily Record:

“I had such an amazing experience on X Factor, I would never rule out trying it again.

“I never say ‘no’ to these things and try to keep an open mind.”

Richards confessed that she was devastated when Kelly informed her in Miami, that she wouldn’t perform on the live finals. She added:

“I was gutted but it’s one of those things.

“Obviously, in my category it was really tough because all the girls were talented.

“There was no one there who couldn’t sing so it was a hard decision for someone to make.”

Jade also admitted that she thinks she would have lots in common with 2010 X Factor reject Gamu Nhengu, and would like to meet her at some point, to talk about their shared experience. She added:

“It would be nice to talk to someone who has been through the same thing.”

Jade is planning to release a Christmas single later this year, with fellow X Factor reject Terry Winstanley.
