Singer Britney Spears might be fired from The X Factor because she’s too expensive.
The 30-year-old, who currently sits on the judging panel alongside Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato and LA Reid, is reportedly under threat because producers are eager to dramatically reduce the show’s budget next season.
‘Producers were hoping to pull in between 15-20 million viewers but the show hasn’t reached those expectations,’ showbizspy.com quoted a source as saying.
‘Britney, who was signed on a one-year deal, on a $15 million contract, which is absurd given that there’s been no huge surge in the ratings,’ the source added.
