Vegas has been incredible and we cannot wait for June and July to do it all again. I\u2019ve got the massive @BSTHydePark show on July 14 and I\u2019ve written the lyrics and music for the #RSCBoyInDress show with @guyachambers &#8211; opening on November 8. As well as all this we\u2019ve got some very big announcements coming soon &#8211; but we can\u2019t reveal all yet. Sadly though it\u2019s impossible to do everything \u2026 and we\u2019re gutted to tell you we won\u2019t be able to return to The X Factor this year. We will, however, be working on projects with Simon going forward &#8211; and as huge fans of the show, we will still be tuning into The X Factor, voting and winding Simon up\u2026x<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A post shared by <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/robbiewilliams\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_medium=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Robbie Williams<\/a> (@robbiewilliams) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2019-04-12T04:55:39+00:00\">Apr 11, 2019 at 9:55pm PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Fans of X Factor were worried last year about the US TV actress&#8217; lack of experience in the music industry.
