Ronan Keating has Quit the Australian X Factor

Ah go on, you care a little about what Ronan Keating does, don't you? Okay fine you don't. Well if the moment ever comes that you do then you will know that the former Boyzone star is no longer a judge on the Australian X Factor.

Keating had been on the judging panel on the series for the last five years, but has now decided to quit to focus on a new solo album. So you know, we have that to look forward to...

He told Sydney's Sunday Telegraph: "I've had five great years working on an amazing show with a brilliant team of people... But I'm working on a new solo album and different projects so I can't make it back this year, sadly."

So there you go, you can now return to not being in anyways arsed about Ronan Keating's career. 

Ah we shoudn't be too harsh, we're sure he's a lovely bloke. Has anyone actually seen him on the Aussie X Factor? Is he more Simon Cowell or Louis Walsh?
