A spokesperson for The X Factor reportedly had this to say to E! about the decision, "Khloe Kardashian will not be returning to co-host 'The X Factor'. We really enjoyed working with her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors."

Khloe's co-host Mario Lopez will be returning the show next season and taking over all hosting duties, according to Aceshowbiz. He said, "I'm looking forward to returning to 'The X Factor' team. We're coming back stronger and better than ever and I'm excited to check out all the new talent."

The show's mastermind, Simon Cowell had this to say about Lopez's return, "I'm thrilled Mario is back for Season Three of 'The X Factor'. Hosting a live show and keeping the judges - especially Demi [Lovato] - in line, is not an easy job, but Mario is a pro and we are glad he's coming back."
