Gary Barlow Admits He's Not 'Enjoying' The X Factor

Gary Barlow has admitted that he isn't really enjoying being part of the X Factor.

The singer, who replaced Simon Cowell as a judge on the show this year, said he's fed-up with not being in control of what happens on the X Factor.

In an interview with Esquire magazine, Barlow said: "The reason I'm not particularly enjoying it is I don't feel I'm in control of it.

"It's a totally new thing for me. I've got to get my head around it, learn to enjoy it."

He added: "It's so intense. All those people out there watching every move you make and analysing it and talking to their friends about it and tweeting and gossiping."

Gary Barlow also hinted that he may not return to the X Factor next year.

Speaking to the Mirror Barlow revealed: "I'm taking some time off next year to remind myself who my children are and what their names are. Next year doesn't even feel like it's approaching."
