X Fator judge Gary Barlow has revealed he isn’t enjoying the show as much as when he started earlier this year due to the growing intesnity and pressure.

The Take That singer joined the panel as a replacement for Simon Cowell back in May, and has hinted he may not return in 2012.

He told The Mirror: “I’ve got to get my head around it and learn to enjoy it. It’s so intense.

“All those people out there watching every move you make and analysing it, talking to their friends about it, tweeting and gossiping. I think at this point I’m not ­particularly enjoying it as I don’t feel in control of it. Maybe I’ll never feel like that. It’s a totally bloody new thing for me.”

A source added: “If Simon doesn’t come back he will need a new head judge the way things are going. He wasn’t sure Gary was warm enough with his comments, but now the signs are all there that Gary doesn’t want to come back, and he wants to spend more time with his family next year.”
